Galaxy in the constellation Antlia

NGC 3125 is a large starburst galaxy in the constellation Antlia. It is located approximately 50 million light-years away from Earth. Starburst galaxies are galaxies in which unusually high numbers of new stars are forming, springing to life within intensely hot clouds of gas.

Morphology

NGC 3125 is notable as it displays large and violent bursts of star formation. Some of these stars are notable; one of the most extreme Wolf–Rayet star clusters in the local Universe, NGC 3125-A1, resides within NGC 3125.

Nearby galaxies

NGC 3125 is member of the LGG 189 Group, which also includes the galaxies NGC 3113, NGC 3137, and NGC 3175.
