NGC 5907, Spiral Galaxy Spiral Galaxy NGC 5907 NGC 5907 in the Constellation of Draco is a bright and nearby Spiral Galaxy with an almost edge-on orientation at an inclination angle of 88 degrees. The nuclear bulge is quite small and is almost hidden behind the opaque dust lane, which causes the color of the nucleus to be heavily reddened. It appears that the outermost spiral arms can be seen at either end of the spindle, and their sense of opening can be inferred.
Spectroscopic observations show that the south end of the spindle is approaching.
