NGC 4373B is a barred spiral galaxy in Centaurus
NGC 4373B (ESO 322-010) is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Centaurus . It shines at magnitude 15.0 and spans 1′ × 48″. It is faint: a 10-inch or larger telescope, or a camera, and it is highest in the evening sky in May.
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.
