These two images are both spiral galaxies. Spiral galaxies have two or more "arms" winding out from a central disk. When viewed from the side, a spiral galaxy resembles a fried egg. Some of the long narrow objects in the Hubble Deep Field may be side views of spiral galaxies. The spirals in the Hubble Deep Field are mostly blue and white because of recent star formation, particularly in the spiral arms.
