A vivid Dwarf: NGC 2366 with MRK 0071 The large HII-region MRK 0071 or NGC2366A is brightly flourishing in the heart of its host. Like most dwarf galaxies, NGC 2366 has big star-forming regions, due to the relatively slow rotation. So NGC 2366 is able to seed those colorful hydrogen flowers once in a cosmic while.
