"A Galaxy Scores a Bullseye": Irregular Spiral Galaxy NGC 922 in Fornax | Hubble
NGC 922 is a galaxy that has been hit square-on by another. Ripples of star-formation are still propagating out across thousands of light-years of space over 300 million years after the collision, making it a prime example of what astronomers call a collisional ring galaxy.
