STRATIFIED LAYERS WALL A CHASM UNDER THE WEST WING.    
DESCENDING RIMS SPILL INTO THE EAST SIDE END ZONE.    

LAYERS FLARING OUT UNDER THE LEFT RIM










Long thin
arms in a flattish
layer stacked somewhat like
pancakes wind out and around to the
rear from underneath the left flank, such
'layered' thin winds are not uncommon and are
seen routinely in highly enhanced views
of spiral galaxies

Stereo
(by focusing
the images together)
reveals a sizeable cleavage,
a chunk missing, exposing layers in
a vertical shelf under the core, suspect a
strong gravity body may have penetrated
and created the cleavage

As a
point of
interest, another
galaxy (which has a particularly
strong show of vertical stratified layering,
is galaxy M63, shown here highly
enhanced, original images
and text shown here


ROUND OF ROIL DRIFTS FROM THE RIGHT RIM







Stereo
reveals much
bunching up on the
right, each rim bunching
up even as it drops down lower
then the proceeding inner rim, the
outermost dim rim lowest down
in the horizontal plane
