This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a galaxy that's hard to categorize. The galaxy in question is NGC 2775, which lies 67 million light-years away in the constellation Cancer (the Crab ...

In the sprawling Hydra constellation, 137 million light-years away, lies NGC 3285B—a dazzling spiral galaxy recently spotlighted by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. This cosmic beauty orbits the edges ...

Hubble has captured a striking new image of NGC 2775, a galaxy that defies easy classification. Blending features of spirals, ellipticals, and lenticulars, its puzzling structure may be the result of ...

NGC 2775 has features of both spiral and elliptical galaxies. Astronomers have long sorted galaxies into types based on their visible structure. Spiral galaxies, like our Milky Way, have a flat disk, ...

Astronomers have long sorted galaxies into types based on their visible structure. Spiral galaxies, like our Milky Way, have a flat disk, winding spiral arms and ongoing star formation. Ellipticals ...
