Lenticular galaxies have an elliptical shape and ill-defined spiral arms. NGC 4753 sits about 60 million light-years from Earth , and is believed to have merged with a nearby dwarf galaxy about 1.3 billion years ago , creating the distinctive wavy dust lanes around its nucleus. See the full advent calendar here, as a new image will be revealed each day until December 25 ..
