A watercolor painting of a barred spiral galaxy in space. The pale blue oval centre of the galaxy is wrapped in medium blue and pale yellow-green gas clouds. From the centre extend two arms which bend around it. There are faint pink clouds within the arms as well as blue and yellow-green clouds. Behind is the darkness of space dotted with stars. A single star shines brighter than the rest where the right arm joins the core of the galaxy.
