Artwork 765: NGC 1055
NGC 1055 is a large spiral galaxy that we see from the side. It is about 52 to 60 million light years away, in the constellation Cetus. It is part of a small group of galaxies. It has thick bands of dust, forms many new stars and its disk looks bent, probably because it is affected by a nearby galaxy called M77.

What was your creative process for the dust placement? This is a pretty incredible use case for Paint.net!!! I love the flaring effects in particular.
