It is about 2.15 million light-years away, and it is the only galaxy in that group where a burst of star formation is known. Close to the plane of the Milky Way, it loses part of its light in the gas and dust of our own galaxy. In the photo, it is an irregular pink glow, seen through the crowd of foreground stars that fills the whole field.
