Hubble Captures Image of Asymmetric Spiral Galaxy NGC 4654

The Hubble Space Telescope has released a new image of NGC 4654, an intermediate spiral galaxy situated 72 million light-years from Earth. This galaxy exhibits a distinctive asymmetric structure, with one prominent spiral arm and a gaseous tail, likely formed by ram pressure stripping as it traverses the Virgo Cluster. The image offers insights into galactic evolution and interactions within clusters.
