M83: A Barred Spiral Galaxy
M83, also known as the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy, is a bright barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Hydra, about 15 million light-years away. Like our own Milky Way, it contains billions of stars, with young, blue stars populating its spiral arms. Dark dust lanes are also visible, tracing the galaxy's structure.
