This stunning Hubble view of spiral galaxy UGC 11397 captures more than graceful arms and glowing stars—it hides a ravenous ...

The galactic masterpiece combines over 100 exposures to reveal previously unseen features of stars in formation.

Explore the UGC 10214, the Tadpole Galaxy, a faint, peculiar spiral galaxy in Draco with a dramatic tidal tail and active star formation — an elusive but rewarding target for deep-sky observers ...

This Webb image shows a densely populated spiral galaxy anchored by a central region that has a light blue haze, known NGC 628. It's 32 million light-years away in the constellation Pisces.

The spiral galaxy NGC 1532, also known as Haley’s Coronet, is caught in a lopsided tug-of-war with its smaller neighbor, the dwarf galaxy NGC 1531.

The first pass of the galaxies may have also warped their delicately curved arms, drawing out tidal extensions in several areas. The faint, miniature spiral arms between IC 2163’s core and its ...

It's a typical large spiral galaxy, between 100,000 and 180,000 light years wide and containing between 200 billion and 400 billion stars. The Milky Way has four spiral arms.

Such structures, if proven, would make REBELS-25 the most distant barred spiral galaxy known. That would beat the record holder, Ceers-2112 , discovered just last year with NASA 's Webb telescope.

The galaxy’s existence suggests that even 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang—which is to say, early in the universe’s existence—well-articulated spiral galaxies existed.
