Colt's Galaxy

==Overview==
The Colt's Galaxy (also designated as SCODSO 3), is a Sc-type galaxy that is 116.03 Megalight Years from Earth and is situated in the northern constellation of Draco. The galaxy has a diameter of 269.73 kilolight-years, or about 269730 light years, which is twice the size of the Milky Way, and the number of stars is estimated to be around 2 trillion. It is situated moderately close to the Sawblade Galaxy, a galaxy with greater brightness.
==Structure==
The structure of Colt's galaxy is uncertain due to the Earth's vantage point; however, more research has concluded that the galaxy is likely to have two well-defined spiral arms and a medium-sized galactic bulge in the center.
==Starburst==
A number of diffuse nebula lies within in some parts of Colt's Galaxy's spiral arms, where star formation is very active. Its halo contains young stars as well as small amounts of neutral hydrogen. This, together with other anomalies in the Colt's Galaxy, point to a collision between the Colt's Galaxy and a dwarf galaxy that collided with the Colt's Galaxy's galactic disk and sparked the current active starburst that will, over time, abate into a mild starburst.
