The Spindle Galaxy (NGC 5866 or Messier 102) is a lenticular galaxy located about 44 million light-years away from the Earth in the direction of the Draco constellation.
Its diameter is about 60,000 light-years. It is tilted edge-on toward us, as shown in the above picture of the galaxy.
A subtle, reddish bulge surrounds its bright nucleus, and a blue disk of stars runs parallel to its dust lane.
