Description

IC 5152 is an irregular galaxy in the Indus constellation, around 6 million light years from earth.

Astronomically speaking, 6 million light years is right next door. Nonetheless, there's more than 100 galaxies within that space. With the exception of M31 and M33, all of them are similar to what you see here (relatively small and irregular in shape).
