Sextans Dwarf — galaxy, shown live in Cosmoscope, a real-time 3D map of the universe.
A sprawling, exceptionally diffuse cloud of ancient stars — so spread out it went unnoticed until 1990 despite its size.
Sextans Dwarf 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.
