COSMIC MESSAGE
M86, on the upper left, is a giant elliptical galaxy near the center of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. Our Milky Way Galaxy is falling toward the Virgo Cluster, located about 50 million light years away. To the lower right of M86 is the unusual spiral galaxy NGC 4438, which, together with angular neighbor NGC 4435, are known as the Eyes Galaxies. A bridge of gas might connect M86 and NGC 4438.
