In this Hubble image the barred spiral galaxy NGC 4424 is seen edge on, but from above you would be able to see the arms of the galaxy wrapping around its center to give the characteristic spiral form. The smaller, flatter, bright galaxy sitting just below NGC 4424 is named LEDA 213994. Image credit: NASA / ESA / Hubble.
