Galaxy Cluster Abell 2667

Observed in 2001

While looking at galaxy cluster Abell 2667, astronomers found an odd-looking spiral galaxy (in the upper left corner of the image) that is plowing through the cluster and being ripped apart by the galaxy cluster's gravitational field and harsh environment.
