Piece of news summary:

The galaxy lies 30 million light-years away, in the constellation Pavo. While it is almost twice as large as the Milky Way, it exhibits the same sharply-defined spiral arms and stretched central region.Those arms host many star-forming regions; the glow coming from hydrogen gas in these active regions shows up as red in the image.
