Galaxies With Angular Arms

by Terrance_L._Johnson

Here's an example of angular, rather than smooth spiral, arms found by ChrisMolloy. I remember seeing an article in The Forum about these odd, fascinating critters and thought others might like to see an example. If any of the Zookeepers can direct people to that article, it might prove interesting. Any comments?
