Lee and the PHANGS-HST Team There are a lot of gorgeous galaxies out there in the universe, but it's hard to top a truly sublime spiral, the kind of galaxy that swirls sparkling curved arms across the dark of space. That's what's on show in a new Hubble Space Telescope portrait of galaxy NGC 4535. NGC 4535 has an engaging nickname: the Lost Galaxy.
