Some 20 million light-years away is the Barred Spiral Galaxy (NGC 2903). It's shine and location within the northern spring constellation Leo -right on the top of the head, make it a premier sight from amateur astronomers. Somehow, NGC 2903 is missing form the Messier catalog. The bright galaxy is filled with stars mid formation and spiral arms. This galaxy is definitely a loss from the "M" objects.
