The Needle Galaxy (NGC 4565), located about 40 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices, is a striking edge-on spiral galaxy. Its elongated, needle-like appearance is due to its thin, disk-shaped structure, seen from our vantage point. The galaxy is rich in star-forming regions, particularly along its spiral arms, and is surrounded by a halo of faint stars and globular clusters. NGC 4565 is often admired for its dramatic profile, making it a popular target for astronomers and astrophotographers alike.
