NGC 3521 Close Up
In this photo is a spiral galaxy, cataloged as NGC 3521. Its approximately 35 million ly away from Earth and 50 thousand ly across. Its positioned near the constellation of Leo, which holds many other spiral galaxies. Amateur astronomers generally over look this spiral galaxy for the others in Leo, but I find this one to be exceptionally radiant; especially the bluer star forming regions.
