The Southern Pinwheel Galaxy (also known as Spiral Galaxy M83, Messier Object 83, Messier 83, M83, or NGC 5236) is a spiral galaxy in the Hydra constellation. It is one of the closest and brightest barred spiral galaxies in the sky, making it visible with binoculars. The nickname "Southern Pinwheel" is due to its spiral arms.
