A multiwavelength image of a spiral galaxy. The galaxy has a small pink core. Several arms spiral clockwise around the core. They are crossed by pink, filamentary dust lanes and made of a haze of yellow stars. Along the arms are purple splotches. In the outer parts of the galaxy, the arms appear blue, dotted with blue star clusters. The arms are somewhat well-defined but asymmetric. One arm curls from about 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock and is mostly separated from the body of the galaxy. Other arms cover the area from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock.
