Description

A piece of heavenly peacock feather

NGC 6744 is a magnificent galaxy very similar to our Milky Way, measuring 150,000 light years in diameter. We can see at the end of one of its arms, a satellite galaxy NGC6744A similar to our Magellanic clouds.

The area contains a significant number of small galaxies and is also bathed in a veil of gas and dust.
