For those interested, the pictures of the Galaxiki galaxy are actually of NGC 1300 in the constellation Eridanus.

Is there any specific reason why they picked this galaxy? I'm not sure if you would know this...but, It's worth a shot. I didn't know if maybe they [NASA] found some clues that lead to anything interesting which might steer Wikipedia to choose this galaxy over others, or if it was just a shot in the dark.

As a matter of fact, NASA has proof that the highly advanced civilizations of NGC1300 have been trying to make contact with us after they lost one of their scout ships in New Mexico in 1947. So, it's been in the collective zeitgeist of the human population of Earth, unconsciously steering us towards that galaxy.
Or, ya know, it's a pretty galaxy that we have high-regulations images of.

yeah i doubt there could be only one advanced civilization trying to make contact, it also increases the doubt that the one alien civ is 69 million parsecs away. doubt it

Didn't Sagan reveal to the world that our neighbors the Vegans had contacted us?
