I Could'a Been A Contender… NGC 2903 by Warren Keller
This beautiful Leo spiral galaxy – NGC 2903 – is only some 20 million light-years away and is one of the brightest galaxies visible from the northern hemisphere. Despite easily being seen in larger binoculars and small telescopes, for some reason it was never included in Charles Messier's famous catalog of celestial grandeur. "You don't [...]
