Two galaxies collided to form this unique shape. It's thought that the smaller galaxy passed through the center of the larger.

Hoag’s Object is a rare ring galaxy located over 600 million light-years from Earth.

A nearly perfect circle full of young blue stars surrounds a spheroid of mostly older red giant stars. In between is a gap that appears almost completely empty.

Delightfully distinctive.
