LEDA 89996, also known by its 2MASS designation 2MASS J04542829-6625280, is a spiral galaxy. It is located within the Dorado constellation and appears very close to the Large Magellanic Cloud.[3]
The galaxy was observed by the Hubble Telescope in 6 July 2015[4] and is similar in appearance to the Milky Way being spiral shaped with winding spiral arms. The darker patches between the arms is dust and gas. Lots of new stars form in this area making the spirals appear very bright.[3]
