A detailed image of spiral galaxy M61, showing a face-on view with well-defined spiral arms extending outward. The arms contain pink star-forming regions, blue star clusters, and dark dust lanes. At the bright center is a glowing core, which contains a tightly wound spiral of gas surrounding a supermassive black hole. This inner spiral resembles a miniature galaxy nested within the larger structure. The galaxy appears surrounded by the dark backdrop of space with scattered distant stars.

The Gaia data indicates more uniform arms - which are also more densly spaced.
It's quite different from the traditional idea of two 'main' arms and several minor arms well spaced within the Milky Way galaxy.

Stunning Hubble Space Telescope image of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1300, located 70 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus. This massive galaxy, spanning over 100,000 light-years, showcases intricate details of its central bar and spiral arms, lacking a massive central black hole unlike our Milky Way. The image is one of Hubble's largest ever created of a complete galaxy.
