NGC 4625
NGC 4625 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 50 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It is notable for its unusual shape, featuring a prominent central bulge and a thin, elongated disk that appears to be warped. This galaxy is classified as a dwarf spiral galaxy, which means it is smaller and less luminous than larger spiral galaxies like the Milky Way.
Discovered by William Herschel in 1784, NGC 4625 has a diameter of about 30,000 light-years. It is part of a group of galaxies known as the Virgo Cluster, which contains many other galaxies. Observations of NGC 4625 have provided insights into galaxy formation and evolution.
