Description

My astronomy club here in the greater Boston MA area, has a monthly target challenge.  The target for April's meeting is NGC 3044, a barred spiral galaxy approximately 67 million light years away from Earth.  It also sits alone in space with no other galaxies nearby which seems kind of sad.  Although maybe it needs its space...pun intended!!  Clear Skies
