A galaxy's outstretched arms form a nearly perfect circle around its central disk in a striking new image from the Hubble Space Telescope.

The barred spiral galaxy, formally known as MCG+07-07-072, is located in the Perseus Cluster about 320 million light-years from Earth. The galaxy has thin, loosely wound arms emerging from the ends of its barred core, creating a rather unusual shape, according to a statement from NASA. 

"Rings in galaxies come in quite a few forms, from merely uncommon, to rare and scientifically important!," NASA officials said in the statement.
