| Object type: | Galaxy (SBcd) | |
| Size: | 9.2' x 7.2' | |
| Magnitude: | 9.8 mag | |
| Constellation: | Ret | |
| Distance: | 15 Mio Ly | |
| Notes: |
NGC 1313 is obviously 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 bright spiral galaxy in the left bottom corner of the above image is NGC 1313A. With a distance of 240 Mio light-years, this galaxy is 16 times farther away than NGC 1313. |
