Description

Compared to the result of 2023, I added about 50% more subs taken in 2024 - the outcome appears more detailed and more structured now. 

NGC253, often called Sculptor or Silvercoin Galaxy, is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. The Sculptor Galaxy is a starburst galaxy, which means that it is currently undergoing a period of intense star formation. Its distance is about 11.4Mio LJ and its diameter about 125000LJ.
