Description

Together with Andromeda, the triangulum galaxy and the Milky way make up our local galaxy group, or neighbourhood, as we star travellers like to call it.

This galaxy actually contains the two largest nebulas, NGC 595 and NGC 604, all across the local group. If we compare the latter to the Orion nebula, NGC 604 would be 40 times the size and 6000 times more luminous. Had we put it in the same place as Orion, it would shine brighter than Venus.
