NGC 4921 is a barred galaxy located in the constellation Coma Berenices and it's situated about 320 million light years from Earth. This galaxy is called "anemic" because it produces stars at a very low rate. As a consequence you can see the new stars around the black dust ring around the center of the galaxy (all the shiny blue dots).

This photo was taken by Hubble telescope in near-infrared and yellow light, that's why the galaxy appears to be white.
