NGC4579 (M58) is a barred spiral galaxy located in Virgo. IT is 68 million light years from earth and its structure is barely discernible using the magnification available to me so I have included an image of the galaxy from another source
I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
