I think the dust and debris from a supernova just hast not come back together to form a new galaxy. Maybe it's just really young galaxy so awesome.
Space..The nuclear Ring..
Most galaxies don't have any rings -- why does this galaxy have two? To begin, the bright band near NGC 1512's center is a nuclear ring, a ring that surrounds the galaxy center and glows brightly with recently formed stars. Most stars and accompanying gas and dust, however, orbit the galactic center in a ring much further out -- here seen near the image edge. This ring is called, counter-intuitively, the inner ring. If you look closely, you will see this the inner ring connects ends of a diffuse central bar that runs horizontally across the galaxy. These ring structures are thought to be caused by NGC 1512's own asymmetries in a drawn-out process called secular evolution. The gravity of these galaxy asymmetries, including the bar of stars, cause gas and dust to fall from the inner ring to the nuclear ring, enhancing this ring's rate of star formation. Some spiral galaxies also have a third ring -- an outer ring that circles the galaxy even further out.

Wtf
Charges to be filed against presidential candidate | Bismarck Tribune
"Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, who is accused of spray-painting equipment Tuesday at a Dakota Access Pipeline work site, will face charges for her action, Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier said in a press conference."
Shameful that the ONLY presidential candidate that gives a damn about people is going to face possible felony charges for this damn bullshit! And, then you have Hillary Clinton who has committed any number of crimes and she gets off scot free. It's not right!

Looks like some people have no idea what is socialism and come to say things on this collection of posts with pop up, no name, no picture profiles.
It is also ignorance to consider that only politicians can speak about politics, that too the ones who cheat on common people, lie each time they open their mouth, support the industrial economy to benefit their own self than, helping the average American.
By the way, I don't get paid by Democrats or any other party. I do my own research day and night to find info to share instead of partying. Hopefully one day it will open up some closed minds.
