NGC
2903 is a beautiful, faint barred spiral galaxy similar to our own
Milky Way Galaxy but about half the size in the constellation of Leo.
NGC
2905 is
a bright star cloud within this galaxy.
Its
about 25 million light-years away.
That
sounds a long way away and it is.
If
you could travel at 671 million miles per hour ( the speed of light)
it would take 25 million years to get to this Galaxy which is about
80,000 light years across.
