[3] The bright galaxy NGC 3810 demonstrates spiral structure similar to that of Messier 77.

The central part of the galaxy disk is of high surface brightness and features tightly wound spirals.

Outside this disk lie more open arms with lower surface brightness.

[4] The bright central region is thought to be forming many new stars and is outshining the outer areas of the galaxy by some margin.

Further out, the galaxy displays strikingly rich dust clouds along its spiral arms.
