NGC 300 is a face-on spiral galaxy located 7.5 million light-years away in the southern constellation Sculptor.

This false-color image taken by the infrared array camera on Spitzer readily distinguishes the main star component of the galaxy (blue) from its dusty spiral arms (red). The star distribution peaks strongly in the central bulge where older stars congregate, and tapers off along the arms where younger stars reside.
