This is a Hubble image of something called Hoag's Object. Pretty name, huh? I wouldn't suggest asking a girl on the first date "Hey baby, have you ever seen Hoag's Object?"

The full story is here.

Cool NBN. Its seems like it would be pretty rare to see a galaxy from it's realtive top/bottom seeing as we can't move the earth easily coupled with all the other available configurations. The article mentions that there is a similar galaxy that can be seen inside the "Object" at about the one o'clock position. It is relatively smaller probably due to distance.
