Galaxy Zoo 2 - Galaxy UGC 8621 

This spiral galaxy, UGC 8621, was identified by volunteers in the Galaxy Zoo 2 project as a spiral galaxy with a very small bulge at the center. Follow-up observations show that this galaxy also hosts a massive and active black hole at its center, a phenomenon previously associated only with prominent bulges. 

Position (2000): RA 13 37 39.8699, Dec +39° 09' 16.454"
