Sculptor—officially labeled NGC 253—is considered a starburst galaxy, one heavy with stellar action. It's located 11 million light-years away in the Southern Hemisphere's constellation Sculptor, and ...

The European Southern Observatory (ESO) unravels a myriad of colours in the latest ultra-detailed image of the Sculptor ...

The galaxy sits in a sweet spot that allows astronomers to study it in ways that can't be applied to even our own Milky Way ...

In a nutshell Scientists identified over 500 planetary nebulae in the Sculptor galaxy, 20 times more than previous surveys, using the MUSE instrument, but the distance estimate they produced was ...

Previously, only much smaller dwarf galaxies and the sparse Magellanic Clouds have been pieced together in such mosaics. The final image covered about 9 million spectra and had a whopping file size of ...

The galactic masterpiece combines over 100 exposures to reveal previously unseen features of stars in formation.

We present a homogeneous chemical abundance analysis of five of the most metal-poor stars in the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We analyze new and archival high resolution spectroscopy from ...

The study of the chemical abundances of metal-poor stars in dwarf galaxies provides a venue to constrain paradigms of chemical enrichment and galaxy formation. Here we present metallicity and carbon ...

This information allowed them to pinpoint its location in the sky. They then used optical telescopes to take deep sky observations to see what sort of galaxy might be lurking there. The Sculptor Dwarf ...

They just popped out.” The three UFDs are in the direction of the spiral galaxy NGC 300 and the Sculptor constellation. They’re called Sculptor A, Sculptor B, and Sculptor C.

Scientists have stumbled upon a trio of tiny dwarf galaxies located about 6.5 million light-years away from Earth. Identified as Sculptor A, B, and C, these galaxies are known for their faintness.

They just popped out.” Sculptor C might be a distant satellite of galaxy NGC 300, a galaxy about 6 million light-years away. Sculptor A is closer to us, while Sculptor B is likely further away.
