Greetings and good morning it’s the Wednesday farm rush hour

Oh wow, what an odd galaxy! Super flat edge-on spiral with an actively feeding black hole in its center. It's only 120 million light-years away; from the image I would've guessed it was farther. Click thru for more info.

There were all sorts of deer in my backyard this afternoon. But I was on the phone so couldn't get photos. In particular, a mommy deer with big eyes & a daddy deer with big antlers. Plus a petite teenage girl deer, and also a slightly larger teenage boy deer (with itty bitty antlers, pencil size).
