Mysteriously Disturbed Galaxies A collection by Gary Imm

This collection contains the galaxies which I have found to be most mysteriously disturbed. All of these galaxies are asymmetric with distorted arms and no obvious companions.

I have only included galaxies on the poster which are greater than 40,000 light years in diameter. I have excluded smaller galaxies, typically categorized as irregular, dwarf, or Magellanic galaxies, since their commonly distorted appearances are not that surprising due to their low mass and rotational momentum.
