Space potato? π₯
Thanks to observations from Hubble and the Keck Observatory, astronomers were able to generate a 3D model of the galaxy M87.
By tracking the motion of stars around the galaxyβs center, they determined that the galaxy is potato-shaped: go.nasa.gov/3MFV16L

It first displays all the known globular clusters and then hones in on the Intergalactic Wanderer. As you can see, this globular cluster is much further way from the galactic center than most others. It is only loosely gravitationally bound to the Galaxy.
