This lopsided galaxy has one seriously pumped-up arm (photo)

A galaxy’s overdeveloped spiral arm dominates the foreground of a stunning new image from the Gemini Observatory in Hawaii. 

The image captures a lopsided spiral galaxy known as NGC 772, which lies over 100 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Aries. The photograph was taken by the Gemini North telescope, located near the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii and operated by the National Science Foundation’s National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab).
