NGC 3091

NGC 3091 is a galaxy located approximately 300 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra. It is classified as a lenticular galaxy, which means it has a central bulge like a spiral galaxy but lacks prominent spiral arms. These galaxies often contain older stars and less gas and dust, indicating limited ongoing star formation. NGC 3091 is part of a group of galaxies, contributing to our understanding of galaxy evolution and the large-scale structure of the universe. Its features help astronomers study how galaxies change over time and interact within their environments.
