Explanation: NGC 300 is so interesting because it is so normal. An Sc-type spiral galaxy in the
nearby Sculptor group of galaxies, NGC 300 shows typical flowing blue spiral arms, an expected
compact nucleus, and the requisite amount of stars, star clusters, and nebulae. Therefore,
studying NGC 300 should indicate how, exactly, a normal spiral galaxy works. Toward this goal,
