[3] The galaxy has two large, curling arms that extend from the centre and wrap around.

The arms and rest of the galaxy’s disc are speckled with glowing patches; some are blue in colour, others are pink.

The pink spots are star forming regions emitting H-alpha light.

In the center of the galaxy lies a bar, which could be a region of intense star formation.

A large cluster or OB association is visible at its western end.
