Title : NGC 4945 is a relatively nearby spiral galaxy

Caption :

NGC 4945 is a relatively nearby spiral galaxy, not too different from the Milky Way Galaxy in which we live. However, since it happens to be seen almost edge-on (under an angle of about 10°), the spiral structure is hardly discernible. This particular perspective is essentially the same as the inside-view we have of the Milky Way, because our Solar System is located near its central plane. The distance from the Sun to the centre is about 30,000 light-years, or 2/3 of the radius of the Milky Way galaxy.
