I decide to make this nice little thread for galaxies with symmetrical spiral arms. They are very pretty to stare at :heart_eyes:

Remember, when posting please include an image and a link to the sky viewer. Copy the text that was generated when you discuss the object, then paste it here.

I’ll start off with a few.
