• ... that galaxy NGC 1700 has a rotating hot gas disk visible in X-rays whose size is comparable to Milky Way?

• Everything checks out. Article is long enough, new enough and the source mentions both hooks (I would suggest a picture but that's obviously optional). I personally prefer ALT1 because of the "merging with another galaxy" part. Good job! E_F⁵ 17:42, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
