    Buta’s Star Burst Ring

    ESO 565-11

    ESO 565-11 is a rare and unique type of bared spiral. It has at least 10 H II knots that form a ring around the nucleus of the galaxy. This is one of the few known examples of this type of nuclear ring. The galaxy was studied by Ron Buta of the university of Alabama.

    The challenge is to see if you can detect the H II knots that form the ring around the nucleus.
