A spiral galaxy seen at a skewed angle. Its centre is a bright spot radiating light. A thick, stormy disc of material surrounds this, with swirling strands of dark dust and bright spots of star formation strewn through the disc. A large spiral arm extends from the disc towards the viewer. Some foreground stars are visible atop the galaxy.

💫 🔭 A beautiful spiral galaxy dazzles in today’s picture from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.

This galaxy, Arp 184 or NGC 1961, gets its name from the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. Its uneven shape earned it a spot in the catalogue.
