One of my faves, among the galaxies that we're studying. Uncommonly beautiful because of its striking "flocculent" spiral morphology. We've learned its star clusters tell a story of gas accreted from a neighbor, rejuvenating the disk🧪🔭

Spiral, elliptical or neither? 🤔
The latest image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope features a hard-to-categorise galaxy, NGC 2775. It has features of both elliptical and spiral galaxies – so what type is it?

Editor's choice: little red dots (LRDs) are compact distant galaxies with unusual properties, of uncertain origin. Taylor et al. have found an LRD at redshift 9.2, and show it contains a supermassive black hole >5% of the stellar mass in the galaxy. ☄️ #extragalactic

Some asteroids spin smoothly. Others tumble chaotically. Understanding their differences could help us learn more about asteroid history and improve planetary defense measures.
What Tumbling Asteroids Tell Us About Their Innards - Eos
Data from the Gaia space observatory reveal that many slowly spinning asteroids rotate chaotically. A new theory links that chaos to their inner structure and history.
