This picture is of the barred spiral galaxy, NGC 4731, in the constellation Virgo. The constellation is about 65 million light years away and has many young stars. Its spiral arms are distorted by a companion galaxy, NGC 4697. This picture interested me because it is a barred spiral galaxy, like the Milky Way Galaxy.
