Description

This member of the Virgo Cluster is known as the Umbrella Galaxy due to the umbrella-shaped structure that extends from its disk to the east and that is composed of stellar streams, being the remnants of a much smaller galaxy that has been torn apart by NGC 4651's tidal forces.

This object is not easy to process, the "umbrella" is very faint.
