NGC 3310 is a grand design spiral galaxy in
the constellation Ursa Major. It is a starburst galaxy and its
likely that NGC 3310 collided with one of its satellite galaxies
about 100 million years ago, triggering widespread star
formation. It is thought to be located approximately 46 million
light-years away from the Earth, and is thought to be about
22000 light-years wide. The ring clusters of NGC 3310 have been
undergoing starburst activity for at least the last 40 million
years.
