NGC 6744 is bigger than the Milky Way, with a disk stretching 175,000 light-years across. A small, distorted companion galaxy is located nearby, which is similar to our galaxy’s Large Magellanic Cloud. This companion, called NGC 6744A, can be seen as a blob in the main galaxy’s outer arm, at lower right of this image.

NGC 300 (also known as Sculptor Pinwheel Galaxy) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. It is the brightest of the five main spirals in the direction of the Sculptor Group. It is inclined at an angle of 42° when viewed from Earth and shares many characteristics of the Triangulum Galaxy. It is about 94,000 light-years in diameter, a bit smaller than the Milky Way.
