A spiral galaxy with a soft and slightly faint appearance. It glows most brightly around the pale-yellow bar across its center. It has two spiral arms which wrap around its core, quickly broadening out to join a wide, faint circular halo around the galaxy. Glowing, sparkling patches in the disk show stars forming in nebulae. Behind the galaxy, distant galaxies appear as orange dots on a black background.
