What’s truly remarkable is that we are viewing this one from the “top”, from near one of the galactic poles, so it appears circular rather than elliptical. (Unless it is actually elliptical and we just have a luck viewing angle.) Note the guy in the background, at one O’clock who appears elliptical.

Also note it appears to be a bit red shifted as well. Assuming it’s the same size as the one in the foreground, it must be several times farther away.
