Description

NGC 6503 lies 17 million light years away and is adjacent to the region of space known as the Local Void. The Local Void is about 150 million light years in size and is strangely empty. This is why many refer to this lonely galaxy as the "Lost in Space" galaxy. This is a dwarf galaxy, about 1/3 the size of the Milky Way.
