A close-in view of a spiral galaxy that faces the viewer. Brightly lit spiral arms swing outward through the galaxy’s disk, starting from an elliptical region in its center. Thick strands of dark reddish dust spread across the disk, primarily along the spiral arms. The arms also contain many glowing, pink-red spots where stars form and clumps of bright-blue star clusters. Beyond its spiral arms, the galaxy is a bit fainter and speckled with blue stars.
