NGC 4782
NGC 4782 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Centaurus. It is approximately 60 million light-years away from Earth and is part of the Centaurus Cluster, which contains many other galaxies. NGC 4782 has a bright core and a disk-like structure, typical of lenticular galaxies, which are a mix between spiral and elliptical galaxies.
This galaxy is notable for its peculiar features, including a prominent dust lane that runs through its center. Observations suggest that NGC 4782 has undergone interactions with nearby galaxies, contributing to its unique morphology. Its study helps astronomers understand galaxy evolution and the dynamics of galaxy clusters.
