NGC 2683: Edge-On Spiral Galaxy |
The spiral galaxy NGC 2683 is very like our own Milky Way Galaxy. This galaxy lies 20 million light-years in the Lynx constellation. NGC 2683 is seen from data and images combined from the Subaru telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope. Other galaxies are littered throughout the background. The galactic core is blended light from a large amount of old yellow stars. The blue glow in the galaxy are young star clusters. This is a very interesting image because it is nearly identical to our own Milky Way Galaxy and just looks super cool.
