NGC 2403
Hidden in the constellation Camelopardalis, NGC 2403 is a beautiful spiral galaxy just 8 million light-years away. Its delicate spiral arms are filled with glowing star-forming regions and bright pink hydrogen clouds, similar in structure to our Milky Way. This galaxy is a true showcase of cosmic evolution — a quiet yet vibrant island of stars adrift in the deep northern sky.
