NGC 300 (also known as Caldwell 70 or the Sculptor Pinwheel Galaxy [3]) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. It was discovered on 5 August 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop. [4] It is one of the closest galaxies to the Local Group, and it most likely lies between the latter and the Sculptor Group.

NGC 300，即科德韋爾70（Caldwell 70），是玉夫座的一個漩渦星系，是最接近本星系群的星系，並可能位於本星系群和玉夫座星系群之間。 該星系由 詹姆士·丹露帕 於1826年8月5日發現。

2024年12月2日 · NGC 300 spans nearly the same amount of sky as the full moon and is visible with a small telescope toward the southern constellation of the Sculptor. The featured image was captured in October from Rio Hurtado, Chile and is a composite of over 20 hours of exposure. Tomorrow’s picture: red planet blues. 说明: 这个星系之所以看起来很不寻常，是因为其可见的恒星 …

2008年9月30日 · These images taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope capture three close-up views of the spiral galaxy NGC 300, a member of the Sculptor Group of galaxies near our Milky Way. NGC 300 resides 7 million light-years from Earth. In …

NGC 300 (also known as Caldwell 70) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. It is one of the nearest galaxies to the Local Group. It probably lies between that and the Sculptor Group. The galaxy is the brightest of the five main spirals in the direction of the Sculptor Group. [1] .

2004年4月8日 · NGC 300 is a spiral galaxy similar to our own Milky Way galaxy. It is a member of a nearby group of galaxies known as the Sculptor group, named for the southern constellation where the group can be found. The distance to NGC 300 is 6.5 million light-years, making it one of the Milky Way's closer neighbors.

2008年9月30日 · NGC 300 Detail 1 Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys shows individual as well as clusters of stars in the spiral galaxy NGC 300, located approximately 7 million light-years away from Earth. In this image, a dense swarm of stars, patches of dust, and a bright star cluster are visible, all located near the nucleus of the galaxy.

2024年12月2日 · A classic spiral galaxy is shown with blue spiral arms. The center is yellow-red. Many star clusters are easily visible. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

NGC 300 is a Spiral Galaxy located in the constellation of Sculptor in the southern hemisphere. NGC 300's distance from Earth is 6,324,172.16 light years. NGC 300 is called NGC 300 in the New General Catalogue (NGC). This catalogue is a list of deep space objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888 to update John Herschel's earlier work.

2025年2月28日 · The stellar structures around NGC 300 represent the richest features observed in a Magellanic Cloud analog to date, strongly supporting the idea that accretion-driven halo formation is a key mechanism in the assembly of dwarf galaxy stellar halos.
