Take this life hack from galaxies: they don’t let labels define them 🙅‍♀‍ The galaxy pictured above is tricky to classify. While it is sometimes classified as a spiral galaxy, similar to our own Milky Way, it is also sometimes classified as a lenticular galaxy. Lenticular galaxies are a galaxy type that sits between spiral and elliptical varieties. Here’s how you can tell: While the spiral arms of this galaxy are distinguishable, they’re not clearly defined. Pictured here, the tip of one arm appears to be diffused. The way we grow and change – galaxies do, too! A galaxy's morphology (and therefore their classification) can vary throughout their lifetime. Spiral galaxies are thought to evolve into elliptical. This can happen by merging with one another, causing them to lose their distinctive spiral structure. Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, A. Riess et al. #NASA #Hubble #Galaxies #LifeHacks #Uniqueness

Today in 1967, the Soviet Union launched Venera 4 to explore Venus' atmosphere. It was the first spacecraft to transmit data from a planet’s atmosphere. More on Venera 4 via @NASA: https://t.co/tFh9DcNwFZ https://t.co/pBHTQDAxKG

These galaxies are in good company 💫 The @NASAHubble Wide Field Camera 3 captured this image of a trio of galaxies — the second two galaxies can be spotted on the far right and bottom center. Discover what makes these galaxies unique: https://t.co/LzJcSzPWd5 https://t.co/kSqD5V6VeK
