NASA shared a picture of the Needle Galaxy, also known as NGC 4565, located in the Coma Berenices constellation. The galaxy appears slim and graceful due to its edge-on observation from the planet. Its narrow shape earned it the nickname 'Needle Galaxy'. It's approximately 40 million light-years away and about 1,00,000 light-years long, similar in size to our Milky Way.
