Description

A nicely barred spiral in Leo, NGC 2903 is 20-30 M light-years distant.   The core of the galaxy is a strong star burst region.   Gas and dust are evident throughout the galaxy.  The dwarf galaxy (KKH 51) in left of the galaxy and slightly down, may be an actual companion and not just line-of-sight to NGC 2903.    The galaxy is estimated to be 80K light years in diameter.
