Leo A — galaxy, shown live in Cosmoscope, a real-time 3D map of the universe.
An isolated, gas-rich dwarf that did most of its star-forming late — over 90% of its stars are younger than the universe’s halfway mark.
Leo A 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.
