The light illuminating the galaxy is a result of the blazing core of the supermassive black hole. Some of the light got leaked while the remaining was blocked by the dense patches of the dust ring around it.

"We think we've found evidence that there is probably dust all over the galaxy scattering light from the accreting black hole in the galaxy's active nucleus, and that the light can illuminate almost the whole galaxy," said astronomer Peter Maksym.
