k Spiral galaxy IC 342, optical image Spiral galaxy IC 342, composite optical image from NASAs Spitzer Space Telescope. IC 342 is a spiral galaxy that appears similar to our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and has arms spiralling around its galactic nucleus core. It is one of the brightest of the two galaxies in the Maffei Group also called the IC 342 Group, the closest group of galaxies to the Local Group a group of nearby galaxies that includes the Milky Way. IC 342 lies about 11 million light years away from Earth, in the constellation Camelopardalis. Data from Spitzers infrared array camera IRAC are shown in blue 3.6 and 4.5 microns and green 5.8 and 8.0 microns, while Spitzers multiband imaging photometer MIPS observation is red 24 microns.

Spiral galaxy IC 342, optical image

Spiral galaxy IC 342, composite optical image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. IC 342 is a spiral galaxy that appears similar to our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and has arms spiralling around its galactic nucleus (core). It is one of the brightest of the two galaxies in the Maffei Group (also called the IC 342 Group), the closest group of galaxies to the Local Group (a group of nearby galaxies that includes the Milky Way). IC 342 lies about 11 million light years away from Earth, in the constellation Camelopardalis. Data from Spitzer's infrared array camera (IRAC) are shown in blue (3.6 and 4.5 microns) and green (5.8 and 8.0 microns), while Spitzer's multiband imaging photometer (MIPS) observation is red (24 microns).
