m99 a
4 hrs 10 min c-11 canon 1000d f6.3 it is decent i guess but still seems like something is missing ? Messier 99 (also known as M99 or NGC 4254) is an w:unbarred spiral galaxy approximately 60 million w:light-years away in the w:constellation w:Coma Berenices.
The galaxy has a normal looking arm and an extended arm that is less tightly wound. A bridge of neutral hydrogen gas links NGC 4254 with w:VIRGOHI21. The gravity from the w:dark galaxy w:VIRGOHI21 appears to have distorted M99 and drawn out the gas bridge, as the two galaxy-sized objects have a close encounter, before they go their separate ways. It is expected that the drawn out arm will relax to match the normal arm once the encounter is over. Three supernovae have been observed in this galaxy.
