NGC 2675 is an elliptical galaxy in Ursa Major
NGC 2675 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major . It shines at magnitude 13.2 and spans 1.5′ × 1.1′. It is faint: a 10-inch or larger telescope, or a camera, and it is highest in the evening sky in March.
Galaxy: a system of billions of stars, gas and dust held together by gravity, far outside the Milky Way. Spiral galaxies have a disk with arms; elliptical galaxies are smooth, round or oval swarms of older stars.
