NGC 4879 is a giant elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Coma Berenices. It is part of the Coma Cluster, which is a large group of galaxies situated about 320 million light-years away from Earth. NGC 4879 is notable for its size and brightness, making it an interesting subject for astronomers studying galaxy formation and evolution. This galaxy has a prominent central region filled with older stars and a surrounding halo of hot gas. Observations of NGC 4879 have revealed the presence of a supermassive black hole at its core, which is common in many large galaxies. Its study contributes to our understanding of the dynamics and interactions within galaxy clusters.
