NGC 5584: Expanding the Universe
NGC 5584 is a spiral galaxy over 50,000 light-years across, located 72 million light-years away in Virgo. Its winding spiral arms are filled with young star clusters and dark dust lanes. This galaxy is important to astronomers because it contains Cepheid variable stars and a recent Type Ia supernova, both key for measuring cosmic distances.
