This is the M106 galaxy. If you look closely you can see the red dust lanes near the nucleus as well as the blue dust surrounding it.The interesting thing about this galaxy is that many believe that the M106's glowing gas is collapsing into the center of a black hole. Astronomers have classified this galaxy as a perfect example of the Seyfert class of galaxies. Also, the reason why this picture was able to be taken was because M106 glows in radio ways and X-rays.
