It is an outlying member of the M81 Group,[3] and is approximately 8 million light-years distant. It bears a similarity to M33, being about 50,000 light years in diameter and containing numerous star-forming H II regions.[4] The northern spiral arm connects it to the star forming region NGC 2404.[3] NGC 2403 can be observed using 10×50 binoculars.[3] NGC 2404 is 940 light-years in diameter, making it one of the largest known H II regions. This H II region represents striking similarity with NGC 604 in M33, both in size and location in galaxy.
