Viewing an image of a colossal edge-on galaxy is a sublime experience. This is the Needle Galaxy (aka NGC 4565), the finest example of an edge-on galaxy in the sky. It is one of the largest and brightest galaxies of its type – about 30% larger than our own Milky Way Galaxy. That makes it about 140,000 light years in diameter, with nearly 1 trillion stars, floating in space some 40 million light years from earth. The Needle Galaxy is often used in textbooks to demonstrate what our own galaxy would look like edge-on.
