Description

In southern constellation Reticulum, irregular galaxy Ngc 1313 bears resemblance to the Large Magellanic Cloud, showing a hint of barred spiral structure. This low integration LRGB image highlights the intense stellar formation in the core and the weaker outskirts. Wider views show the galaxy surrounded by IFN. The galaxy is located at 15 million light years and it is about half the size of the Milky Way.
