A galaxy with a small, bright yellow core surrounded by a fuzzy halo is in the middle of the image. Within this fuzzy halo, just to the right of the main galactic core, is a companion galaxy that looks like a small yellow dot. The two galaxies appear small in the center of the image. Extending diagonally from the main galaxy in the middle are two enormous pink jets that project out in opposite directions: one reaches toward the upper left corner of the image and the other to the lower right. The ends of these long, narrow jets expand to form bulbous regions made of shell-like layers. The outer shells appear more diffuse and translucent, while the inner layers become a progressively deeper pink. Scattered across the dark background are hundreds of faint objects that vary in size, shape, and color. Most appear as small dots, ovals, or lines in different shades of orange, red, and blue.
