  Welcome to Galaxy Zoo, SRELLE!

  It's quite a nice loose, barred, two-arm spiral, isn't it?

  Our own Milky Way is thought to also be a barred spiral, but not a loose one, and it likely has more than two arms as well. Also, this galaxy has a fairly small, not very prominent bulge; the Milky Way's bulge is almost certainly quite a bit bigger.

  Happy hunting! 😃
