Lenticular Galaxies


The lenticular galaxy NGC 5866, the Spindle Galaxy (located in Draco). This galaxy is about 40 million light-years from Earth.
A lenticular galaxy is a lens-shaped galaxy. These enormous groupings of older stars have a smooth, even distribution and very little internal structure.

Some lenticular galaxies (abbreviated SO galaxies) include M84 (in Virgo), M85 (in Virgo), M86 (in Virgo), NGC 5866 (the Spindle Galaxy), and perhaps M102.
