NGC 3370 exhibits intricate spiral arm structure that is sprinkled with hot areas where new stars are forming. NGC 3370's center has well defined dust lanes and an unusually ill-defined nucleus. This galaxy contains a combination of young stars in the bluer regions and older stars in the yellowish core. The mass of NGC 3370 is estimated to be about the same as our own Milky Way at around 1011 solar masses. NGC 3370 is sometimes referred to as the Silverado galaxy. Link
