NGC 4298 is a flocculent [3] [4] [5] [6] spiral galaxy located about 53 million light-years away [7] in the constellation Coma Berenices. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 8, 1784 [ 8 ] and is a member of the Virgo Cluster .

Apr 20, 2017 · This video zooms into the Virgo Cluster of nearly 2,000 galaxies, then into tight Hubble Space Telescope images of spiral galaxies NGC 4302 (left) and NGC 4298 (right) in visible and infrared light. Located approximately 55 million light-years away, the starry pair offers a...

NGC 4298 is a Spiral Galaxy in the Coma Berenices constellation. NGC 4298 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year.

May 15, 2018 · The edge-on galaxy is called NGC 4302, and the tilted galaxy is NGC 4298. These galaxies look quite different because we see them angled at different positions on the sky. From our view on Earth, researchers report an inclination of 90 degrees for NGC 4302, which is exactly edge on. NGC 4298 is tilted 70 degrees.

Apr 21, 2017 · ESA and NASA celebrate Hubble’s birthday each year with a spectacular image. This year’s anniversary image features a pair of spiral galaxies known as NGC 4302 — seen edge-on — and NGC 4298, both...

This image displays the galaxies NGC 4302 — seen edge-on — and NGC 4298, both located 55 million light-years away. They were observed by Hubble to celebrate its 27th year in orbit. The galaxy NGC 4298 is seen almost face-on, allowing us to see its spiral arms and the blue patches of ongoing star formation and young stars.

Apr 20, 2017 · This video illustrates how their observed shapes can differ greatly depending upon the angle at which they are observed. The spiral galaxies NGC 4302 (left) and NGC 4298 (right) are visualized in three dimensions and rotated to showcase how they might look if viewed from other perspectives.

May 4, 2017 · NGC 4298 is tilted 70 degrees. In NGC 4298, the telltale, pinwheel-like structure is visible, but it’s not as prominent as in some other spiral galaxies. In the edge-on NGC 4302, dust in the disk is silhouetted against rich lanes of stars.

This Hubble Space Telescope image shows two galaxies called NGC 4302 and NGC 4298. Both galaxies are spiral galaxies that appear different because they are tilted at contrasting angles as viewed from Earth.

Apr 20, 2017 · This fulldome clip, for use by planetariums, explores the new image of the pair of galaxies NGC 4298 and NGC 4302. The image was taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space telescope and released to celebrate its 27th year in orbit.
