NGC 4302 is an edge-on spiral galaxy [3] located about 55 million light-years away [3] [4] in the constellation Coma Berenices. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 8, 1784 [5] and is a member of the Virgo Cluster. [4] [6] [7] It is classified as a Seyfert galaxy and as a LINER galaxy. [3] [8] It also has a prominent ...

2017年4月20日 · This video zooms into the Virgo Cluster of nearly 2,000 galaxies, then into tight Hubble Space Telescope images of spiral galaxies NGC 4302 (left) and NGC 4298 (right) in visible and infrared light. Located approximately 55 million light-years away, the starry pair offers a...

2018年5月15日 · The edge-on galaxy is called NGC 4302, and the tilted galaxy is NGC 4298. These galaxies look quite different because we see them angled at different positions on the sky. From our view on Earth, researchers report an inclination of 90 degrees for NGC 4302, which is exactly edge on.

2017年4月21日 · This year’s anniversary image features a pair of spiral galaxies known as NGC 4302 — seen edge-on — and NGC 4298, both located 55 million light-years away in the northern constellation of ...

2017年4月21日 · Explanation: Seen edge-on, spiral galaxy NGC 4302 (left) lies about 55 million light-years away in the well-groomed constellation Coma Berenices. A member of the large Virgo Galaxy Cluster, it spans some 87,000 light-years, a little smaller than our own Milky Way.

NGC 4302 is a Spiral Galaxy in the Coma Berenices constellation. NGC 4302 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year.

2017年4月20日 · This animation zooms through the Virgo Cluster of nearly 2,000 galaxies into tight Hubble Space Telescope images of spiral galaxies NGC 4302 (left) and NGC 4298 (right) in visible and infrared light. Located approximately 55 million light-years away, the starry pair offers a glimpse of what our Milky Way galaxy would look like to an outside ...

NGC 4298 is the lower galaxy. This is a 9 minute exposure with an ST-6 CCD camera thru Kopernik's 20-inch F/8.1 Ritchey Chretien Cassegrain telescope. The field of view is about 5x7 arc minutes, with west at the top. NGC 4302: Bright middle, nucleus hidden by strong dark lane.

2017年4月20日 · This video starts with a view of the night sky as seen from the ground and zooms in onto the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. A further zoom shows the two galaxies NGC 4298 and NGC 4302 as they are seen by Hubble. The image of these two galaxies was released as part of the 27th anniversary of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Credit:
