⁣@NASAHubble captures a unique galaxy 17 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Coma Berenices, known as the “Evil Eye, with sweeping bands of cosmic dust.⁣

First discovered in 1799, astronomers know this galaxy by its peculiar internal motion. The gas in the inner and outer regions move in opposite directions, which may be due to a recent galactic merger.⁣
