NGC-238
This is a collection of information obtained from various sources (and cited), about the galaxy NGC-238. It is a wheel-like galaxy, with two big spokes. If I had the authority to name it, I would call it the THL galaxy, after my site here.
Major Source 1
The bulk of my information comes from Caltech, specifically this search which was linked from the Wikipedia article on it. I wanted to back it up below, especially not to expend Caltech resources, as the site is slow to load. It is part of the (N)ASA/IPAC (E)xtragalactic (D)atabase.
