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&#8217;s boxy, bulging central core cut by obscuring dust lanes that lace NGC 4565&#8217;s thin galactic plane. NGC 4565 lies around 40 million light-years distant while the spiral galaxy itself spans some 100,000 light-years. That&#8217;s about the size of our own Milky Way. Easily spotted with small telescopes, deep sky enthusiasts consider NGC 4565 to be a prominent celestial masterpiece Messier missed. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap250904.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magnificent spiral galaxy NGC 4565 is viewed edge-on from planet Earth.
