Description

This is a small Magellanic galaxy located 15 million light years away in the constellation of Ursa Major at a declination of +58 degrees.  It spans 5 arc-minutes in our apparent view.  This corresponds to a diameter of 25,000 light years.

I like imaging local galaxies closer than 20 million light years away, like this one, where the blue star clouds are large enough to show some detail.
