A luminous giant elliptical galaxy typically found near the
center of a cluster of galaxies. D galaxies are similar in
appearance to ordinary ellipticals, but their brightness declines
more slowly with distance from the center, making them look as if
they have diffuse halos (the "D" stands for "diffuse".)

the carrier was the biggest challenge of the trip... As it

a fine man and a great pilot."
