Default Spiral Galaxy Moving Fast

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/1808/heic1404b1920.jpg

Here we see spiral galaxy ESO 137-001 hurtling through a
galaxy cluster called Abell 3627, which is about 220 million
light years away from us. As the spiral galaxy speeds along
at nearly 7 million kilometers per hour, some of its gas and
dust is being stripped away, as we can see here.
