IC 10 — galaxy, shown live in Cosmoscope, a real-time 3D map of the universe.
The Local Group’s lone starburst — a small galaxy ablaze with new stars and one of the densest known concentrations of Wolf–Rayet stars, half-hidden behind the Milky Way.
IC 10 is placed at its true position on the sky and at its real measured distance, not as a flat backdrop. Fly out from the Sun in the live 3D view and watch it change from a point of light into structure as you approach, with the scale bar showing just how far out you have travelled.
