Discover the STRANGEST GALAXIES in the sky.

NGC 6622 is a compact barred spiral that has an unobscured nuclear region, while the disk of the galaxy is mostly surrounded by dust and stars from NGC 6621. Here are 12 of my new favorites: NGC 1228, NGC 1229, NGC 1230, and IC 1892 make up a chain of galaxies in Eridanus. NGC 5426 and NGC 5427 in Virgo are a pair of near-twin Sc spirals in the early stages of colliding.
