An irregularly shaped galaxy fills most of the frame. The center is brighter, filled with a blue-white haze of stars that backlights a horizontal band of brown dust. Another area to the left of the core, almost as bright as the center is filled with a similar haze of stars and dotted with blue star clusters. To the right, the galaxy is less bright and more transparent. A faint hazy line extends almost vertically from the top of the galaxy. The black background of space is filled with stars and tiny background galaxies.
