NGC 1350

Situated 85 million light-years distant in the southern constellation Fornax. NGC 1350 is inhabited by young blue star clusters. The tightly wound spiral arms of NGC 1350 seem to join in a circle around the galaxy’s large, bright nucleus, giving it the appearance of a cosmic eye. In fact, NGC 1350 is about 130,000 light-years across. That makes it as large or slightly larger than the Milky Way
