This galaxy has very tight spiral
"structure"- however, no one feature extends long enough to be a
spiral arm. This galaxy sports a curious ring of dust (dark
circle) that surrounds the nucleus. It is estimated that this
galaxy is around 41 million light years away. Note the very
subtle difference in color between the inner yellowish region
and outer bluish arms. This galaxy is not unlike
NGC 2841 and
NGC 488.
