UGC 12591: The Fastest Rotating Galaxy Known


Why does this galaxy spin so fast? To start, even identifying which type of galaxy UGC 12591 is difficult – featured on the lower left, it has dark dust lanes like a spiral galaxy but a large diffuse bulge of stars like a lenticular. Surprisingly observations show that UGC 12591 spins at about 480 km/sec, almost twice as fast as our Milky Way, and the fastest rotation rate yet measured. The mass needed to hold together a galaxy spinning this fast is several times the mass of our Milky Way Galaxy. Progenitor scenarios for UGC 12591 include slow growth by accreting ambient matter, or rapid growth through a recent galaxy collision or collisions – future observations may tell. The light we see today from UGC 12591 left about 400 million years ago, when trees were first developing on Earth.

TOP 10 Fastest Cars In The World 2015 - 2016

I’m sorry but after this month, when i go into the waitlist and etc, I’m going to have to go a little easier on the work.
I’ve been pushing very hard to get everything out on time, and as a result have become extremely stressed to the point where I end up having no patience for anything IRL and it’s very bad. I know there’s this thing, where it’s said “then make time!” “then just do it!” “You have to fill every last minute or you’re not living up to your responsibilities!” But i really don’t like the person I’m becoming at all so I have to ease up for the sake of my sanity.

I actually do put a great deal of time into every commission I make, and I’m always very stressed that if I don’t return them on time, people will get upset at me; I probably won’t be any lazier but I would appreciate some patience and understanding so that i FEEL like I have the wiggle room to actually have some patience
