![A large spiral galaxy. It has many narrow arms that are tightly-twisted in the center, but at the ends they point out in different directions. The galaxy’s core glows brightly, while its disc is mostly faint, but with bright blue spots throughout the arms. A few smaller spiral galaxies at varying angles are visible in front, and it is surrounded by other tiny stars and galaxies, on a black background.](https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/hubble-ugc-678-potw2316a-jpg.webp?w=4096&format=png)
![A spiral galaxy. It is large in the center with a lot of detail visible. The core glows brightly and is surrounded by concentric rings of dark and light dust. The spiral arms are thick and puffy with grey dust and glowing blue areas of star formation. They wrap around the galaxy to form a ring. Part of the arm is drawn out into a dark thread above the galaxy, and dust from the arm trails off to the right.](https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/hubble-jw39-potw2321a-jpg.webp?w=4096&format=png)

![A spiral galaxy that is tilted partially toward us. Its inner disc is bright and colorful, with bluish and reddish spots of star formation throughout the arms. An outer disc of pale, dim dust surrounds it. It has many arms, which are being pulled away from the disc, down and to the right. They stretch into long, faint trails that cross the image. The background is dark and mostly empty, with three bright stars.](https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/hubble-j0206-potw2323a-jpg.webp?w=4096&format=png)
