Description:

NGC 6015 at 40 million light years distance is an isolated and warped type Sc-r galaxy. Recent studies indicate a discontinuity in the formation of the spiral arms and different rotation rates between the inner and outer arms. There is no indication of bar formation. There is a noticeable tail emanating at the top. The tiny red objects are likely very distant galaxies.
