| Description |
English: The giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4881, at upper left, lies at the edge of the giant Coma Cluster of Galaxies. Elliptical galaxies are ellipsoidal in shape, contain no spiral arms, contain little interstellar gas or dust, and are found mostly in rich clusters of galaxies. Elliptical galaxies appear typically yellow-red, as opposed to spirals which have spiral arms that appear quite blue. Besides the spiral galaxy on the right, all other images in this picture are of galaxies that lie well behind the Coma Cluster. |
