I was looking through the APODs when I saw this one. It is titled NGC 2403 in Camelopardalis. I picked this APOD because we learned about the constellation Camelopardalis in our astronomy class, and also because Mr. Percival says he makes fun of this constellation.. At the center of this picture is the island galaxy also known as NGC 2403.This is about 10,000 light-years away and about 50,000 light-years across.
What a big constellation!
