Space Photos of the Week: Spiral Galaxy’s Got More Twins Than Beyonce

When it comes to space, there's always something new to learn. Humanity studies celestial bodies near and far, hoping to glean fresh understanding about the universe. And no matter where you look, you'll find a surprise or two.

The European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope made a doubly surprising discovery when it snapped a photo of spiral galaxy NGC 7098. The galaxy boasts two large spiral arms and a double bar stuffed with stars buried in its core. But the ESO wasn't finished there, capturing a stunning, extremely detailed image of the Orion Nebula's star formation with the OmegaCam abroad the VLT Survey Telescope.
