The top right panel shows NGC 6786, a pair of interacting galaxies exhibiting signs of tidal disturbances after a close encounter. The bottom panel displays NGC 520, depicting two galaxies actively ...

It is NGC 520, and was discovered by William Herschel in 1784. What Herschel didn’t know is that ultimately this object would be classified as a peculiar galaxy.

NGC 1566 is what scientists call a weakly barred or intermediate spiral galaxy and belongs to a group of gravitationally bound galaxies that astronomers are still working to understand.

NGC 4536 is a starburst galaxy with rapid star formation due to gas compression. Its bar-like structure channels gas toward the nucleus, fueling intense star birth. The hot blue stars formed ...

NGC 3430 is a spiral galaxy without an open, distinct arm centre bar. It has since been classified as a SAc galaxy. Edwin Hubble used it to characterise a variety of galaxy types, such as spiral ...

NGC 3430, on the other hand, has morphed into a "classic" or "normal" spiral galaxy, lacking a dense central bar of ancient stars but still possessing clear and distinctive spiral arms.

Hubble Space Telescope, launched in 1990, revolutionized understanding of the universe. NASA has released image of dusty spiral galaxy NGC 4414 which is 60 million light-years away from Earth.

At a distance of some 50.5 million light years, NGC 4262 is the nearest PRG to Earth and a member of the Virgo cluster. It is a gas-rich galaxy with an apparent magnitude of approximately 12.49 mag.

NGC 520 was discovered by William Herschel in 1784 and is one of the largest and brightest galaxies in the Siena Galaxy Atlas.
