“NGC 4651: The Umbrella Galaxy” is copyrighted by CFHT. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteNGC 4651 is known as the Umbrella Galaxy because of the stream of stars appearing to rain from its disk. This stellar parasol, stretching 100,000 light-years, is the remains of a smaller satellite galaxy. The smaller galaxy was torn apart by repeated close encounters with NGC 4651, which is similar in size to our Milky Way.
