And now, to prove the existence of such objects, we even have a picture from the heart of M87, a giant elliptical galaxy about 55 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo.

The Hubble data clearly shows J0742+2704 is still a spiral galaxy, but there are some hints of interactions with other objects that could offer hints as to its evolution.

Science News: Groundbreaking research reveals the Oort Cloud's shape as a spiral structure, challenging traditional beliefs about its random collection. NASA's Plei ...

Excess fuel turns to water vapour and reflects sunlight, causing the spiral shape to form. Brian Cox, a professor in particle physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of ...

The shapes can seem to appear out of nowhere: an undulating S-like spiral streaking across the European skies or a glowing orb trailing above the North American coast.

Using advanced simulations, a NASA supercomputer has revealed that the Oort Cloud, a vast shell of icy bodies surrounding the Sun, may not be a random collection of objects—but instead a spiral ...
