IC 10

IC 10 (2023)

  • Constellation: Cassiopeia
  • Right Ascension: 00h 20m 17.3s
  • Declination: +59° 18′ 14″
  • Distance: 2.5 million ly
  • Galaxy Type: dIrr IV/BCD

IC 10 is a irregular galaxy located in the constellation of Cassiopeia. Part of the local group of galaxies, but because of being located in the plane of the Milky Way galaxy it is obscured by dust and gas. It is also a star burst galaxy, being the only one in the local group.
