  spiral galaxy in Sculptor Group -NGC 300-  
 
  NGC 300 is a pretty Sc galaxy in the Sculptor Group, very similar in appearance to the Local Group, galaxy M33 in the northern sky. It has a small nucleus and a faint. In this photo we can clearly recognize the S-shape of the inner part of the spiral structure. Its outer parts are fainter and more irregular. An overall asymmetry will be noticed, since the northeastern part of the galaxy is clearly brighter and more extended than the southwestern part.
