Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte Galaxy
This image, captured by ESO's OmegaCAM on the VLT Survey Telescope, shows a lonely galaxy known as Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte, or WLM for short. Although considered part of our Local Group of dozens of galaxies, WLM stands alone at the group's outer edges as one of its most remote members. The irregular galaxy was discovered in 1909 by Max Wolf, and is located in the constellation Cetus.
