caption_attribution_description: A dusty lenticular galaxy with an active nucleus (type II Seyfert). I am very fond of the warped disk. Data from the following proposals were used to create this image: Precision Measurement of Black Hole Masses in Early-Type Galaxies from the ALMA Archive An ACS Schedule Gap Imaging Survey of Nearby Active Galaxies Processing note: The F110W data I preferred the appearance of, dust looking less transparent, but didn't cover the whole image. F160W was used around the outer corners where F110W didn't reach. Red: WFC3/IR F110W + F160W Green: ACS/WFC F814W Blue: WFC3/UVIS F475W Pixel scale is ~.05" per pixel (ACS/WFC) at original size. North is up.
context_page_description: NGC 612 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation of Sculptor located approximately 388 million light-years from Earth. It is a type II Seyfert galaxy and thus has an active galactic nucleus. NGC 612 has been identified as an extremely rare example of a non-elliptical radio galaxy, hosting one of the nearest powerful FR-II radio sources.
