Original – Coiled galaxy has an eye-like object at its center which is actually a monstrous black hole surrounded by a ring of stars. In this color-coded infrared view from Spitzer, the area around the invisible black hole is blue and the ring of stars, white. The galaxy, called NGC 1097 and located 50 million light-years away, is spiral-shaped like our Milky Way, with long, spindly arms of stars.

Support Holy extra long captions Batman! The caption is waaaaaaayyyyyyy too long to be any good but I'm going to support anyway because it's such a great image and with the assumption that someone will come along and trim the caption to a reasonable length.
