thenewenlightenmentage: NGC 2403 Barred spiral galaxy NGC 2403 resides in the constellation Camelopardalis the Giraffe. NGC 2403 is one of the sky’s brightest galaxies, shining with a magnitude of 8.5. It’s large, however, so that brightness spreads over an area defined by the galaxy’s 25.5’ by 13’ dimensions. Its size, by the way, makes NGC 2403’s area 47 percent as large as that of the Full Moon.
