Constellation
A constellation is an area on the celestial sphere in which a group of visible stars forms a perceived pattern or outline, typically representing an animal, mythological subject, or inanimate object.
See NGC 4476 and Constellation
Epoch (astronomy)
In astronomy, an epoch or reference epoch is a moment in time used as a reference point for some time-varying astronomical quantity.
See NGC 4476 and Epoch (astronomy)
Hydrogen
Hydrogen is a chemical element; it has symbol H and atomic number 1.
Interstellar medium
The interstellar medium (ISM) is the matter and radiation that exists in the space between the star systems in a galaxy.
See NGC 4476 and Interstellar medium
Intracluster medium
In astronomy, the intracluster medium (ICM) is the superheated plasma that permeates a galaxy cluster.
See NGC 4476 and Intracluster medium
Lenticular galaxy
A lenticular galaxy (denoted S0) is a type of galaxy intermediate between an elliptical (denoted E) and a spiral galaxy in galaxy morphological classification schemes. NGC 4476 and lenticular galaxy are lenticular galaxies.
See NGC 4476 and Lenticular galaxy
Light-year
A light-year, alternatively spelled light year (ly or lyr), is a unit of length used to express astronomical distances and is equal to exactly 9,460,730,472,580.8 km (Scientific notation: 9.4607304725808 × 1012 km), which is approximately 5.88 trillion mi.
List of NGC objects (4001–5000)
This is a list of NGC objects 4001–5000 from the New General Catalogue (NGC). NGC 4476 and list of NGC objects (4001–5000) are NGC objects.
See NGC 4476 and List of NGC objects (4001–5000)
Messier 87
Messier 87 (also known as Virgo A or NGC 4486, generally abbreviated to M87) is a supergiant elliptical galaxy in the constellation Virgo that contains several trillion stars. NGC 4476 and Messier 87 are NGC objects, UGC objects, Virgo (constellation) and Virgo Cluster.
New General Catalogue
The New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (abbreviated NGC) is an astronomical catalogue of deep-sky objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888. NGC 4476 and New General Catalogue are NGC objects.
See NGC 4476 and New General Catalogue
NGC 4478
NGC 4478 is an elliptical galaxy located about 50 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. NGC 4476 and NGC 4478 are astronomical objects discovered in 1784, NGC objects, UGC objects, Virgo (constellation) and Virgo Cluster.
Ram pressure
Ram pressure is a pressure exerted on a body moving through a fluid medium, caused by relative bulk motion of the fluid rather than random thermal motion.
Sloan Digital Sky Survey
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey or SDSS is a major multi-spectral imaging and spectroscopic redshift survey using a dedicated 2.5-m wide-angle optical telescope at Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico, United States.
See NGC 4476 and Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Virgo (constellation)
Virgo is one of the constellations of the zodiac.
See NGC 4476 and Virgo (constellation)
Virgo Cluster
The Virgo Cluster is a large cluster of galaxies whose center is 53.8 ± 0.3 Mly (16.5 ± 0.1 Mpc) away in the constellation Virgo. NGC 4476 and Virgo Cluster are Virgo (constellation).
See NGC 4476 and Virgo Cluster
William Herschel
Frederick William Herschel (Friedrich Wilhelm Herschel; 15 November 1738 – 25 August 1822) was a German-British astronomer and composer.
