A majestic spiral about the size of the Milky Way 100 million ly away in Serpens Cauda.

Note the smaller galaxies grouped together to the bottom right of NGC6070. These 3 are the largest members of a group of galaxies lying about 580 million ly away. Their size is also estimated to be in the 90,000 to 100,000 ly range so they provide a nice comparison to the nearer NGC6070.
