“Galaxy NGC 474: Cosmic Blender” is copyrighted by Mischa Schirmer. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteGalaxy NGC 474 displays a complex system of shells, which is unusual for an elliptical galaxy. The cause of these shells is still being investigated. They might be tidal tails, debris left over from NGC 474 absorbing smaller galaxies over the past billion years. Alternatively, the shells could be like ripples in a pond, created by an ongoing collision with the spiral galaxy to the right.
