Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Messier 100 (also known as NGC 4321 or the Mirror Galaxy) is a grand design intermediate spiral galaxy in the southern part of the mildly northern Coma Berenices. It is one of the brightest and largest galaxies in the Virgo Cluster and is approximately 55 million light-years from our galaxy, its diameter being 107,000 light years. (ref: Wikipedia) The last time I imaged this galaxy was March 2023 when the dwarf planet Ceres was passing between the Earth and Messier 100 spiral arms.
