NGC 4414 is a flocculent spiral galaxy, with short segments of spiral structure but without the dramatic well-defined spiral arms of a grand design spiral. The galaxy was imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995, as part of the HST's main mission to determine the distance to galaxies, and again in 1999 as part of the Hubble Heritage project.

NGC 4414 是 后髮座 的一個 螺旋星系，距離地球6200萬光年。 超新星 SN 1974G 是目前在NGC 4414內第一顆被發現的 超新星，1995年 哈伯望遠鏡 曾經觀察過它，當時為了測量它與地球的距離很遠。

The featured image of flocculent spiral galaxy NGC 4414 was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope to help answer this question. Flocculent spirals -- galaxies without well-defined spiral arms -- are a quite common form of galaxy, and NGC 4414 is one of the closest.

2016年11月20日 · Understanding the matter and dark matter distribution of NGC 4414 helps humanity calibrate the rest of the galaxy and, by deduction, flocculent spirals in general.

Flocculent spirals -- galaxies without well defined spiral arms -- are a quite common form of galaxy, and NGC 4414 is one of the closest. Stars and gas near the visible edge of spiral galaxies orbit the center so fast that the gravity from a large amount of unseen dark matter must be present to hold them together.

1999年6月3日 · In 1995, the majestic spiral galaxy NGC 4414 was imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope as part of the HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale. An international team of astronomers, led by Dr. Wendy Freedman of the Observatories of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, observed this galaxy on 13 different occasions over the course ...

2024年10月29日 · On a crisp night in March 1785, William Herschel pointed his telescope toward the constellation of Coma Berenices and stumbled upon a celestial wonder—NGC 4414. This spiral galaxy, located approximately 60 million light-years away, has since captivated astronomers and stargazers alike.
