NGC 1313 is a very active galaxy, showing many bluish star formation
regions. Also a great number of supershell nebulae is visible. This is the
reason why 15 million light-years distant galaxy NGC 1313 is classified as a
nearby starburst galaxy. It is often described as a galaxy in transition
between the Magellanic-type galaxies and normal disk galaxies such as M33. The above wide-field image shows that NGC 1313 is embedded in extended galactic cirrus. |
