NGC 4413
NGC 4413 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Virgo. It is approximately 60 million light-years away from Earth and is part of the Virgo Cluster, which contains thousands of galaxies. NGC 4413 has a diameter of about 70,000 light-years and is characterized by its bright central bar structure and well-defined spiral arms.
Discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in 1784, NGC 4413 is classified as a type SBc galaxy, indicating its spiral structure with a prominent bar. Observations of this galaxy contribute to our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution, particularly in relation to the dynamics of spiral galaxies.
