NGC 4565: #Galaxy on the Edge
Edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4565, the Needle Galaxy, resides in Coma Berenices. Its bright core of older stars and dust lanes is visible in this color image. Similar to the Milky Way, it's 30 million light-years away and over 100,000 light-years across—a celestial masterpiece.
