The abundance of stars might make it a bit challenging to realize that what you’re seeing is indeed a galaxy. Identified as ESO 245-5, this galaxy may seem less recognizable due to its seemingly unstructured appearance, differing from Hubble’s usual images of organized spiral galaxies with distinct spiral arms of stars, gas, and dust.

ESO 245-5 falls into the IB(s)m category in the De Vaucouleurs galaxy classification system. This classification implies that the galaxy is irregular (I) with no defined structure. It also possesses a bar (B), indicating a dense bar of stars crossing its center.

The additional terms ((s)) suggest a slight spiral structure, while the last term (m) signifies a galaxy type similar to the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, irregular satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. ESO 245-5 is a relatively close neighbour to the Milky Way, situated about 15 million light-years away in the Phoenix constellation.
