Here is
NGC 6946. It's a face-on spiral galaxy from our point of view, Hubble type "Sc" because its spiral arms are loosely wound. It's about 10 million light years away in the constellation Cepheus. NGC 6946 has a high rate of starbirth, but it gets its nickname the "Fireworks Galaxy" because it also has a high stellar death rate in the form of supernovae, at least nine known since the early 20th century.
