Encyclopedic overview
NGC 3125 is an irregular dwarf starburst galaxy in the constellation Antlia that was discovered by John Herschel in 1835. It is located approximately 38 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.
