   To celebrate #Hubble's 27th anniversary in 2017, @spacetelescope released this image of a pair of spiral galaxies, NGC 4302 and NGC 4298.

   From our view on Earth, NGC 4302 (left) has an inclination of 90 degrees, which is exactly edge-on. NGC 4298 (right) is tilted at about 70 degrees.

   While these galaxies may look different because we see them at different angles, their structure and contents are actually very similar.
