Description

At 40 million light-years distance, NGC 3184 is a pretty nice grand design spiral.  It is a medium sized galaxy, estimated to be 80K light-years in diameter.   In this image which has been color calibrated, the arms appear a bit bluer than I was expecting, indicating either I've messed up the calibration, or there's a lot of young stars in the galaxy!
