| Detail | ： | Low Res. (123 KB) / Mid. Res. (999 KB) / High Res. (7.86 MB) NGC 5211 is a face-on galaxy located in the direction of Virgo. Unlike typical spiral galaxies that have spiral arms connected directly to their central regions, this galaxy displays a gap between its central core and the arms, resulting in a ring-like structure known as a pseudoring. Additionally, a second ring-like spiral arm is also present in the central region, giving the unique appearance of a double-ring structure. The inner ring appears red, while the outer ring has a blue tint, creating a striking and contrasting visual impression.
