LEDA 677373 is a faint dwarf galaxy located about 14 million light years from Earth in the Centaurus A/M83 Group in the constellation of Centaurus.[1][2]

It has a large reserve of gas which could potentially form new stars. However, this galaxy is unable to form new stars due to Messier 83 gravitationally pulling gas form LEDA 677373.[1]
