Description:
NGC 2655 (up-right in the image) is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis at a distance of 60 million light years from Earth. It is a Seyfert galaxy, one of the two largest groups of active galaxies that have a quasar-like nuclei (very luminous sources of electromagnetic radiation that are outside of our own galaxy) with very high surface brightnesses whose spectra reveal strong, high-ionisation emission lines, but unlike quasars, their host galaxies are clearly detectable.
