The ESA described this galaxy as flocculent, meaning it has a woolly, feathery, or fluffy appearance, which is a very apt description considering the arms spiraling out from its center look like they're made of dog fur dotted with millions of blue stars.

Lee and the PHANGS-HST TeamAcknowledgement: Judy Schmidt (Geckzilla) These furry arms suggest that there hasn't been much in the way of star formation in this galaxy for a very long time, according to the ESA. The arms are made up of gas clouds that have been spread by the rotation of the galaxy.
NGC 2775 has a notably wide "galactic bulge" at its center which is pretty much completely devoid of star formations. Earlier in its life, this galaxy's center would have been filled with gas that was converted into stars, which you can see has all been pushed out and away from its center in this image. Still though, it's thought that clusters of young, hot, blue stars that can be seen in the arms can trigger star formations in the gas around them.

It shows just how powerful the aging Hubble Space Telescope still is, even as its successor preps for a March 2021 launch.
