![A spiral galaxy, seen face-on to the viewer. The bright center of the galaxy is crossed by a glowing bar, and it is surrounded by tightly wound spiral arms, forming a circular shape with relatively clear edges. Faraway galaxies are visible around it, along with a few bright stars, on a dark background. One star to the right of the galaxy is very large and extremely bright with long diffraction spikes.](https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/hubble-ngc3783-potw2416a.jpg?w=4096&format=jpeg)

![A pair of merging galaxies. The galaxy on the left has a large, single spiral arm curving out from the core and around to below it, with very visible glowing dust and gas. The right galaxy has a bright core but only a bit of very faint material. A broad curtain of gas connects the two galaxies’ cores and hangs beneath them. A few small stars and galaxies are scattered around the black background.](https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/hubble-arp107-potw2338a.jpg?w=4096&format=jpeg)
