Thursday, May 24, 2012: Spiral galaxy ESO 498-G5 features spiral arms that wind all the way into the center, so ESO 498-G5's core looks like somewhat like a miniature spiral galaxy. Many other spiral galaxies possess elliptical star-filled centers, also called bulges. Astronomers refer to the spiral-like bulge of galaxies like ESO 498-G5 as disc-type bulges, or pseudobulges, while bright elliptical centres are known as classical bulges. ESO 498-G5 is located around 100 million light-years away in the constellation of Pyxis (The Compass).
