Description

M99 is a grand design spiral galaxy in Coma Berenices.
The Galaxy is in a distance of 45 Mio Lj and has a visual size of 5,4 x 4,7 arcmin.
The real size of M99 is about 85.000 Lj and bit smaller than our Milky Way. What is surprising is the fact that it has only about 5% of the mass of our Milky Way.
