NGC 4565 (also known as the Needle Galaxy or Caldwell 38) is an edge-on spiral galaxy about 30 to 50 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. [2] It lies close to the North Galactic Pole and has a visual magnitude of approximately 10.

2024年8月23日 · The Needle galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel in 1785 and is also cataloged as NGC 4565. It is about 40 million light-years away toward the constellation Coma Berenices.

2023年4月17日 · Studying galaxies like NGC 4565 helps astronomers learn more about our home, the Milky Way. At a distance of only about 40 million light-years, NGC 4565 is relatively close by, and being seen edge-on makes it a particularly useful object for comparative study.

2012年7月9日 · Studying galaxies like NGC 4565 helps astronomers learn more about our home, the Milky Way. At a distance of only about 40 million light-years, NGC 4565 is relatively close by, and being seen edge-on makes it a particularly useful object for comparative study.

2021年4月10日 · NGC 4565 also known as the Needle Galaxy is an edge-on spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices. Here is my wide-field astrophotography image.

2023年5月7日 · The Needle Galaxy (NGC 4565, Caldwell 38) is a barred spiral galaxy located approximately 30 – 50 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. It is one of the best-known edge-on spiral galaxies in the night sky.

Also known as the Needle Galaxy for its narrow profile, bright NGC 4565 is a stop on many telescopic tours of the northern sky, in the faint but well-groomed constellation Coma Berenices. This sharp, colorful image reveals the galaxy's boxy, bulging central core cut by obscuring dust lanes that lace NGC 4565's thin galactic plane.

NGC 4565 is a relatively bright edge-on spiral galaxy in Coma Berenices. Glowing at a visual magnitude 9.6 it makes a fine target for modest size telescopes. It is thought that our own Milky Way galaxy would appear similar to the Needle Galaxy when viewed edge-on.

2024年2月5日 · NGC 4565, the Needle galaxy, is an edge-on galaxy in Coma Berinices. Imaged from Guelph, Ontario by Canadian astrophotographer Ron Brecher.

NGC 4565 is a Spiral Galaxy in the Coma Berenices constellation. NGC 4565 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. Given its visual magnitude of 12.43, NGC 4565 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 8 inches (200mm) or more.
