[edit] Image

I think that the main image of the galaxy should be changed to a smaller version, or a warning should be put up on the page. My computer came to a standstill for almost ten minutes when it tried to load the image.

[edit] Notes on 13 Aug 2006 Edits

I decided to make a few general edits to this page, performing some of the tasks that I now normally perform on many nearby galaxy pages (including the addition of data from the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database and the rearrangement of categories). This page still has some problems. Much of the information is unreferenced. In particular, the page should contain references for the given distance (which, despite the Hubble law, is still difficult to calculate) and for the information on the triggers of the spiral density waves (which I rewrote for clarity but which I did not find a reference for). If references cannot be found for either of these pieces of information, the information should be deleted. GeorgeJBendo 19:19, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
