  22. NGC 6946 Fireworks Galaxy

    Magnitude 9.6 face-on intermediate spiral galaxy located 25.2 million light-years away between the constellations Cepheus and Cygnus. 10 supernovae have been observed in NGC 6946. That is about 10X the rate observed in our own galaxy, even though the Milky Way has 2X as many stars. For this reason, NGC 6946 is often referred to as the "Fireworks Galaxy".
