NGC 4565 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 40 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. It is often referred to as the "Needle Galaxy" due to its elongated shape, which makes it appear like a thin needle when viewed from Earth. This galaxy is notable for its bright central bulge and well-defined dust lane that runs along its disk. Discovered by William Herschel in 1785, NGC 4565 is classified as an edge-on spiral galaxy. It has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years and contains billions of stars, along with various nebulae and star clusters. Its unique orientation provides astronomers with valuable insights into the structure and dynamics of spiral galaxies.
