The spiral galaxy NGC 4911 spins through the cosmos in this recent image from Hubble Space Telescope. The galaxy is a member of the Coma Cluster, a collection of thousands of galaxies that is centered about 320 million light-years away. NGC 4911 shows prominent spiral arms and dark lanes of dust. The gravity of another galaxy, to the upper right, is distorting NGC 4911's spiral arms and pulling out streamers of stars, gas and dust. [NASA/ESA/Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA)]
