A ring galaxy is a galaxy with a circle-like appearance. The ring contains many massive, relatively young blue stars, which are extremely bright. The central region contains relatively little luminous matter. Some astronomers believe that ring galaxies are formed when a smaller galaxy passes through the center of a larger galaxy. Because most of a galaxy consists of empty space, this "collision" rarely results in any actual collisions between stars. However, the gravitational disruptions caused by such an event could cause a wave of star formation to move through the larger galaxy. Other astronomers think that rings are formed around some galaxies when external accretion takes place. I like to use elemental materials for some of my astronomy work because it is a reminder that everything is made of star stuff. In this drawing, I used graphite, zinc white and vegetable based shellac to create monochromatic depth in a grisaille style.
