NGC 6946: This beautiful spiral galaxy lies just outside the radius of our local cluster of galaxies, about 20 million light years away. It is rapidly speeding away from the Milky Way at more than 200 miles per second. In this type of spiral (SAB), the core is small and the arms, where new stars are forming, are well-defined and bright. 11 exposures per filter, 60 sec each |
