UGC 4879 is one of a kind! Classified as an irregular dwarf galaxy, UGC 4879 is a bit smaller and messier than its cosmic cousins, like spiral and elliptical galaxies. Its nearest neighbor is about 2.3 million light-years away, making it pretty isolated: https://go.nasa.gov/482mbPQ

NGC 2775 is difficult to define. The galaxy in this #HubbleFriday image is home to a smooth center mostly devoid of gas, resembling an elliptical galaxy. But it also has a dusty ring with star clusters, like a spiral galaxy. So what is it? Find out here: https://go.nasa.gov/4gI7Rhu
