II Zwicky 73 (also written Zw II 73) is a lenticular and polar-ring galaxy in the constellation Bootes and about 250 million light years distant from Earth. It is an object of great scientific interest as there have been very few polar-ring galaxies discovered. II Zw 73 is a very gas-rich environment. DSS and SDSS images show that it is very similar to polar-ring galaxy NGC 660 the most well-known of all the polar-ring galaxies.
