The ARP 184 or NGC 1961 is still an amazing or “strange” spiral galaxy in this image of the Hubble Space Telescope.
What is this?
One of the 338 indexing formations of Astronomer Halton ARP in 1966 in “Atlas of Western Galaxies”, ARP 184 or NGC 1961 is perverted, but the appearance is still amazing, spiral appearance that was filmed through the ESA’s Hubble.
The ARP 184 was included in the catalog due to its wide spiral arm, which appears to extend to the Earth. The distant side on the galaxy (as for us) contains a few gases and stars, instead of an amazing spiral arm.
Where is she?
ARP 184 sits about 190 million light years away from Earth in the Camelopardalis constellation (giraffe).

Why is it amazing?
This image is Hubble is the product of three programs to monitor programs, which are brief notes reserved in time bodies between longer studies.
One of the three programs included in the galaxies listed in the Atlas of distinctive galaxies, in addition to a catalog of southern galaxies and associations, a similar catalog collected by Halton Arrib and Barry Madour.
Consider the remaining shot programs in the wake of transit astronomers such as the four known algae hosted by the ARP 184 in the past three decades.
