Hubble spots spiral galaxy spinning two ways at once
Original: NASA's Hubble sees an exotic spiral galaxy spinning two ways at once
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has observed an exotic spiral galaxy that appears to be rotating in two opposite directions at the same time. The rare finding, reported by NASA and covered by outlets including Mashable, offers astronomers an unusual case study in galactic dynamics and may prompt further research into how such counter-rotating structures form.
Why now: A rare Hubble discovery of a galaxy with contradictory rotation is a striking new astronomy finding
