“One-Armed Spiral Galaxy NGC 4725” is copyrighted by Mike Siniscalchi. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteMost spiral galaxies, including our own, have two or more spiral arms. NGC 4725, however, appears to have only one tightly wound arm. This sharp color image shows that arm traced by bluish, newborn star clusters. The galaxy also has dust lanes, a prominent ring, and a yellowish central bar of older stars.
