The European Space Agency publicized a new Hubble Space Telescope observation of NGC 4698, a spiral galaxy 55 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. The image reveals that the galaxy's central bulge and the stars and gas nearest its centre rotate perpendicular to the rest of the disc—a rare configuration.

“NGC 4698 is one of only a few known spiral galaxies with a bulge that extends out from the disc at a right angle.”
