NGC 4725 is an intermediate barred spiral galaxy with a prominent ring structure, [9] located in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices near the north galactic pole. [10] It was discovered by German-born British astronomer William Herschel on April 6, 1785. [ 11 ]

Apr 16, 2015 · NGC 4725 is over 100 thousand light-years across and lies 41 million light-years away in the well-groomed constellation Coma Berenices. Computer simulations of the formation of single spiral arms suggest that they can be either leading or trailing arms with respect to a galaxy's overall rotation.

Sep 3, 2015 · At first glance NGC 4725 appears to be a normal spiral galaxy, its central region dominated by the yellowish light of cool, older stars giving way to younger hot blue star clusters along dusty spiral outskirts.

NGC 4725 is a Intermediate Spiral Galaxy in the Coma Berenices constellation. NGC 4725 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere.

Dec 22, 2023 · NGC 4725 is a striking spiral galaxy situated in the constellation Coma Berenices. Its placement in the night sky makes it a great subject for astronomers and astrophotographers alike. From Earth, NGC 4725 is 40 million light years away (40 mega-light years).

While most spiral galaxies, including our own Milky Way, have two or more spiral arms, NGC 4725 has only one. In this sharp color composite image, the solo spira mirabilis seems to wind from a prominent ring of bluish, newborn star clusters and red tinted star forming regions.

Jun 28, 2021 · NGC 4725 is the large galaxy in the centre of the image. It appears to have only one main spiral arm; this is due to distortion caused by interactions with other galaxies. NGC 4275 lies about 40 million light years away and is the largest member of the Coma I galaxy group.

The galaxy NGC 4725 was discovered on 6 April 1785 by William Herschel with his 18.7 inch reflecting telescope. This is a Seyfert 2 galaxy of the morphological type SABab. Distance specifications range from 12 Mpc to 17.4 Mpc. That same night, Herschel discovered the smaller, irregular galaxy NGC 4747, 24 arc minutes to the northeast. Halton ...

NGC 4725, the "one-armed galaxy", is an intermediate barred spiral galaxy with a prominent ring structure 41 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. While most spiral galaxies,...

May 30, 2013 · NGC 4725 is over 100 thousand light-years across and lies 41 million light-years away in the well-groomed constellation Coma Berenices. Computer simulations of the formation of single spiral arms suggest that they can be either leading or trailing arms with respect to a galaxy's overall rotation.
