Spiral Galaxy NGC 2403 |

About This Photograph
Situated about 8 million light-years away in the far northern constellation of Camelopardalis ("giraffe") lies this spiral galaxy. Like many such galaxies, it has numerous active star-forming regions marked by the tell-tale reddish clouds scattered along its arms. The arms are further traced by hot, blue giant stars, recently emerged from their own stellar nurseries.
