NGC 1309: Spiral Galaxy and Friends

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

This spiral galaxy, NGC 1309, is about a third the size of our Milky Way. It lies 100 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus. Young, blue star clusters trace its spiral arms, while older, yellowish stars populate its core. This galaxy has been important for studying the universe's expansion, thanks to its Cepheid variable stars and a recent supernova.
