Description

The spring sky is full of galaxies! The needle galaxy (NGC4565) visible from the edge also stands out among these with its special beauty! I think looking at the photo it's clear why it's called "Needle"! The galaxy is very similar to our Milky Way, its size is almost the same, 100,000 light-years in diameter, and it is located approximately 40 million light-years away. Part of the spiral galaxy's light is obscured by its dust lanes. Several galaxies can be observed in the photo, some of which are more than 2 billion light years away!
