M 86

M 86 is the bright galaxy in the middle of this image. It is
classified as a "lenticular" galaxy -- a disk galaxy without
spiral structure. Above it you can see M 84. Both galaxies
are part of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. For a wider image
of this cluster, from which this image was cropped, see the
"Canon Digital Camera" gallery.
