There's beauty in imperfection!

This new #HubbleFriday view shows the skewed galaxy Arp 184, which belongs to the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies.

Arp 184 earned its spot due to its broad, asymmetrical, star-speckled spiral arm: go.nasa.gov/4jZDB2j

About 225 million light-years away, the barred spiral galaxy NGC 5335 shines.

A notable bar structure slices across the center of the galaxy, which channels gas inwards toward the galactic core, fueling star formation. #Hubble #Astronomy

Taking it to the extreme.

The eXtreme Deep Field, or XDF, was released during Hubble's 23rd year but contains a decades worth of data.

XDF is a small patch of sky, yet it holds over 5,500 galaxies: go.nasa.gov/427Qnpj #Astronomy

In Hubble's 17th year, the telescope snagged this view of a "light echo" from the star V838 Mon. Light from a star that erupted moves outward through a cloud of dust surrounding it. Hubble first observed V838 Mon in 2002 and tracked changes: go.nasa.gov/4c3yBqH

An amazing new image from the JWST. We see not one galaxy, but two! In the center, a galaxy in the foreground, whose mass deflects the rays of light from the one behind, forming an Einstein ring, predicted by the theory of General Relativity in 1915. Masses deflect light! #Astronomy

To celebrate Hubble's 31st anniversary, astronomers observed AG Carinae, a massive luminous blue variable star. It is 70 times the Sun's mass and surrounded by a 5 L-Y nebula. This star struggles between gravity and radiation, occasionally ejecting material to avoid self-destruction. #Astronomy
