Description

NGC 4565 (also known as the Needle Galaxy or Caldwell 38) is an edge-on spiral galaxy about 30 to 50 million light-years away in the constellationComa Berenices.It lies close to the North Galactic Pole and has a visual magnitude of approximately 10. It is known as the Needle Galaxy for its narrow profile.First recorded in 1785 by William Herschel, it is a prominent example of an edge-on spiral galaxy.CharacteristicsNGC 4565 is a giant spiral galaxy more luminous than the Andromeda Galaxy.Much speculation exists in literature as to the nature of the central bulge. In the absence of clear-cut dynamical data on the motions of stars in the bulge, the photometric data alone cannot adjudge among various options put forth. However, its exponential shape suggested that it is a barred spiral galaxy.[7] Studies with the help of the Spitzer Space Telescope not only confirmed the presence of a central bar but also showed a pseudo bulge within it as well as an inner ring.NGC 4565 has at least two satellite galaxies, one of which is interacting with it. It has a population of roughly 240 globular clusters, more than the Milky Way.NGC 4565 is one of the brightest[10] member galaxies of the Coma I Group.[11][10]This edge-on galaxy exhibits a slightly warped and extended disk under deep optical surveys, likely due to ongoing interactions with neighboring satellite galaxies or other galaxies in the Coma I group. GALEX images show the slight warp at the edge of the disc more clearly than other surveys.Using the Low-Frequency AR ray (LOFAR), astronomers of the University of Hamburg discovered a diffuse radio halo around NGC 4565. During the observations, a warp was detected in the radio continuum of NGC 4565 that is reminiscent of a neutral hydrogen line (HI) warp and identifying a slight flaring of the galaxy's radio halo. It is assumed that this flaring is caused by the warp as the vertical intensity profiles are asymmetric, which is in agreement with the warp. According to the study, a minimum age for the warp was estimated at approximately 130 million years. This is the spectral age of the galaxy's cosmic ray electrons, during which they are transported into the warp. This indicates that NGC 4565 may be in the aftermath of a period with more intense star formation.

NGC 4562 is a Spiral Galaxy located in the constellation of Coma Berenices in the northern hemisphere. NGC 4562's distance from Earth is 37,263,366.15 light years. NGC 4562 is called NGC 4562 in the New General Catalogue (NGC). This catalogue is a list of deep space objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888 to update John Herschel's earlier work. NGC 4562 is not a Messier Object and doesn't have a Messier Number. The galaxy is separate and distinct, not in Milky Way galaxy or The Solar System.Nothing indicates Exoplanets with or without Alien life forms orbiting any of the many stars the galaxy has. No one has ever travelled to or sent a probe to NGC 4562, as the galaxy is too far away for current technology. No one will probably ever visit the galaxy unless they could create a Wormhole, given the distance involved.

When we observe the NGC 4562, we are not looking at it as it currently appears but as it used to appear millions or billions of years ago, given how long light to reach us from there. Based on the Morphological Type (Sdm C), its Galaxy Classification is Spiral Galaxy .
 NGC 4562 LocationNGC 4562's location is 12 35 34.5672266616 (R.A.) and +25 50 58.387185060 (Dec.). They are celestial equivalents of Longitude and Latitude. The right ascension (longitude) is the angular distance of an object along the celestial equator from the March Equinox. As a rough guide, the March Equinox is located in the constellation of Pisces. If the number is negative, it is "west" of the March Equinox.

The declination (latitude) is the galaxy's angle from the celestial equator. A negative value indicates it is in the southern hemisphere.Based on the location of Coma Berenices, NGC 4562 can be located in the northern hemisphere of the celestial sky. The celestial hemisphere is equivalent to the hemispheres on Earth. NGC 4562 is north of the Ecliptic. The Ecliptic is the path the Earth takes as it orbits the Sun. As the Earth is titled, we have Celestial and Ecliptic hemispheres.

 Attributes of NGC 4562Radial VelocityRadial velocity is the speed at which an object moves away/towards the Sun. For NGC 4562, the radial velocity is 1,353.00 km/s. When the value is negative, the deep space object and the Sun are getting closer. Likewise, a positive number means that the two things are moving away.
