NGC 4612 has diffuse bar embedded in a small, bright nucleus. Surrounding the nucleus, there is a very low-surface-brightness ring.[5]

gollark: Hmm, I could actually make infipage work with the service worker thing by implementing the rewrite-rule logic on the client.
gollark: It might also™ be possible to have it cache *all* the site on every website update, but that would be a bit wasteful.
gollark: This™ does have the minor disadvantage that™ you'll need to refresh the page™ to receive site updates™ sometimes™, so that™ it loads the service worker™ again to detect™ the new™ version.
gollark: If you visit a page, it will now use magic™ to cache it locally, and then serve that local copy until it detects that the site has been updated, and that will continue to work even without an Internet connection with cached pages.
gollark: Good news! I fixed the service worker setup, so you can now use osmarks.tk offline (ish).
