Messier 95, M95, NGC 3351, Barred and Ringed Spiral Galaxy
Ultraviolet image (left) and visual image (right) of the face on barred and ringed spiral galaxy NGC 3351 (M95). The morphological appearance of a galaxy can change dramatically between visual and ultraviolet wavelengths. In the case of M95, the nucleus and bar dominate the visual image. In the ultraviolet, the bar is not even visible and the ring and spiral arms dominate. Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) Mission.
