EVAC Edge-on Galaxies Observation Log
East Valley Astronomy Club Programs
Occasionally a galaxy may be oriented such that from the Earth we see the edge of the galaxy. If the galaxy happens to have a spiral morphology, many times we can detect a lane of dust on the outer edge of the galaxy.
This observing program from the East Valley Astronomy Club lists forty-seven interesting edge-on galaxies.
