NGC 4800
NGC 4800 is a barred spiral galaxy located approximately 60 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in 1786. This galaxy is notable for its distinct bar structure, which is a common feature in many spiral galaxies.
The galaxy has an apparent magnitude of about 13.2, making it faint and challenging to observe without a telescope. NGC 4800 is part of the larger Virgo Cluster, a group of galaxies that includes many other interesting celestial objects. Its study helps astronomers understand galaxy formation and evolution.
