Object name: VII Zw 140Designation(s): VII_Zw_140, VII Zw 140 is described as a "Blue post-eruptive multiple (elliptical) ring spiral, with compact elliptical core" according to the CGPG. Though it is slightly red in my image it does look blue to the eye. Redshift puts it about 150 million light-years from us. Two Tully-Fisher measurements are in close agreement saying 160 million light-years. This makes it about 65,000 light-years across its largest diameter. NED classifies it as (R)SA(r)ab with a Seyfert 2 core. The structure is surprisingly heart-like in its inner ring though the outer ring is only slightly oval. It is found in northern Lynx.
