TOROIDAL SHAPE WELL SEEN IN NGC 4526 IS COMMON IN GALAXIES

Implications
are many, in that
the central disk-ring is not a
flat circle, in this case the east side is
more horizontally spread out, the west
side more vertical. Such asymmetry
in a galaxy's fundamental
component shape is
not untypical
for many forms
of spiral galaxies.
Ngc 4526 is an excellent 'show n tell'
galaxy revealing n a self evident way that a horizontal -
vertical component exists in galaxies. In this case a partial
elliptical galaxy reveals a flattened horizontal portal into a
wall of haze at the left side of the central rim band, and
a vertical rise into the haze at the right side, the
fact of galactic 'topolical asymmetry' thus
proven by this single image enhanced
of Ngc 4526

TOROIDAL SHAPE IN OTHER GALAXIES

Toroidal shape
is more instantly
understood in light of
the ront face shape of the
Warped Galaxy. Both toroids help
explain fundamental horizon planes
seen in the Sombrero Galaxy
here   and   here

We
almost
have the best
see-all in full view,
but not quite. Notice that
the rim dips down to its most flat
horizontal plane just a few degrees progressing
eastward from the far left. If the disk was rotated by about
30 degrees counterclockwise, the slight rise seen at the left end
would disappear into haze and more elevation in vertical rise
would appear out of the haze at the far right so that
more of the warped frisbee shape overall
would be evidenced

The original shows nothing of what is seen in the above enhanced views



In
retro
fitting their
professional intents,
the above dark view is designed
to show a supernova whose presence is best
seen against a dark or starkdark backdrop. Since,
however, this Ngc 4526 image is the only comprehensive
image available (so it seems) to the public, comments
about the missing technical details shown in
abundance in the above enhanced images
are said here without risk since
any astronomer could have
handsomely enhanced
the original
and so
presented
to the public
a galaxy image with more
knowledge than just, mere, supernova
