NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Irregular Dwarf Galaxy Sextans A” is copyrighted by Franz Hofmann. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

While large spiral galaxies often grab attention, small galaxies like the irregular dwarf galaxy Sextans A also form stars. Its young star clusters and star-forming regions are gathered into a gumdrop-shaped area only 5,000 light-years across. Located some 4.5 million light-years away, Sextans A is visible in the direction of the constellation Sextans.
