Hubble has captured a striking view of NGC 4698, a spiral galaxy about 55 million light-years away in the Virgo Cluster. Unlike most galaxies, its central bulge rotates almost perpendicular to its main disk. Astronomers believe this unusual structure may have been caused by an interaction with another galaxy or the capture of external gas. A hydrogen tail provides further clues to its turbulent past, offering a glimpse into how galaxies evolve. Thank you for listening to Bedtime Astronomy — your guide to the cosmos.
