Most spiral galaxies, including our own, have multiple arms, but NGC 4725 has only one. This single arm winds out from a ring of young, blue star clusters and red star-forming regions. The galaxy, 41 million light-years away in Coma Berenices, also has a yellowish central bar of older stars and obscuring dust lanes.
