Description

NGC 4631 - a Whale Galaxy and its blue neighbor NGC4656 (a Crowbar Galaxy) - in Coma Berenices. Image from DSW observatory, processed by me. The Whale spiral galaxy seen edge-on is about 25 million light-years away (similar in size to our own Milky Way Galaxy). A companion galaxy, the small elliptical NGC 4627 appears just beneath the Whale Galaxy.
