When another galaxy hits the center of a spiral galaxy, it creates ripples of gas and dust that radiate like a shock wave, producing a ring, the theory suggests. Another hypothesis is that ...

The smaller spiral galaxy, IC 2163, appears to “creep” behind the larger spiral, NGC 2207, in what NASA describes as a “light scrape.” This grazing encounter created shock fronts where the ...

Why it's so special: The spiral galaxy IC 3225 looks like it's going somewhere. At first glance, it may seem like any other large spiral galaxy, such as our Milky Way, with its bright, glowing ...
