Arp 37 • M77 • NGC 1068
Arp 37 corresponds to NGC 1068, one of the most studied active galaxies in the sky. Its bright nucleus, powerful jets, and complex dust lanes make it a textbook example of a Seyfert II galaxy.
Challenge: Asymmetrical shape of the two arms and the nodes in the ENE and SW arms.
