NGC 1313 is an isolated
galaxy in Reticulum that
has a disorganized shape
from star burst activity --
not from colliding with a
neighbor, as there are no
galaxies nearby. It is
further atypical due to its
assymetrical arms and the
fact that the center of
rotation is not the middle of
the central bar.
