Sculptor group
The Sculptor Group is a collection of galaxies located in the constellation Sculptor. It includes several notable galaxies, such as NGC 253, also known as the Sculptor Galaxy, which is a bright spiral galaxy. This group is part of the larger Local Supercluster and is situated about 11 million light-years away from Earth.
The Sculptor Group is significant for astronomers studying galaxy formation and evolution. Its members exhibit various types of galaxies, including spiral and irregular forms, providing insights into different galactic structures and interactions. The group serves as a valuable laboratory for understanding the dynamics of galaxies in a relatively close cosmic neighborhood.
