Excerpts from Virgo Cluster
This image offers a closer look at the region surrounding the Virgo Cluster, as seen in a First Look image captured by NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory. At the upper-left is RSCG 55, a group of interacting galaxies with trails of material between them. They can be seen above a pair of whirling spiral galaxies. Beneath that is the barred spiral galaxy NGC 4519. On the right is the region around spiral galaxy NGC 4257. Finally, at the bottom lies the single-armed spiral galaxy NGC 4378. Full labeled version of this image is here.
