About this image
I came across this galaxy in Ursa Major while looking for Comet 2019 Y4 Atlas. It was easy to see though no structure was visible other than gradually fading away from the nucleus. Doing a bit of investigation I found out this is an barred lenticular galaxy with an active nucleus (the central black hole will be accreting material).
