Spiral galaxy NGC 4911 located deep within the Coma Cluster of galaxies.
A majestic face-on spiral galaxy located deep within the Coma Cluster of galaxies, which lies 320 million light- years away in the northern constellation Coma Berenices. The galaxy, known as NGC 4911, contains rich lanes of dust and gas near its center. These are silhouetted against glowing newborn star clusters and iridescent pink clouds of hydrogen, the existence of which indicates ongoing star formation. Also visible are the outer spiral arms of NGC 4911, along with thousands of other galaxies of varying sizes.
