“Unraveling NGC 3169” is copyrighted by Warren Keller. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteSpiral galaxy NGC 3169, about 70 million light-years away, appears to be unraveling. Its spiral arms are distorted into sweeping tidal tails as it interacts gravitationally with neighboring NGC 3166. This gravitational dance is a common occurrence for galaxies in the local universe.
