    It looks irregular. It bulges out on the right side. Doesn't the galaxy look as if either the star is not in the center, there is a small dust ring, or a smaller/newer galaxy is merging with a larger/much older galaxy? Either way, there is an inconsistency in visible light.

    Well, it looks as if there is a lot of starforming areas near the nucleas. Maybe a #nuclear_ring seen from the side.
