Some galaxies are considered to be particularly striking or awe-inspiring due to their size, shape, or color. For example, the Andromeda Galaxy, which is the closest major galaxy to the Milky Way, is a beautiful spiral galaxy with a bright core and long, sweeping arms. The Sombrero Galaxy is another striking galaxy, with a distinctive hat-like shape and a bright, central bulge. The Whirlpool Galaxy is another beautiful spiral galaxy, with bright, tightly-wound spiral arms and a glowing central region.
