Telescope: Astro-Physics 160 Starfire	Description:Messier 86 (or NGC 4406) is an elliptical or lenticular galaxy in the constellation Virgo. M86 lies in the heart of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies and forms a most conspicuous group with another large galaxy known as Messier 84. It displays the highest blue shift of all Messier objects. Messier 84 or -NGC 4374, is a giant elliptical or lenticular galaxy, in the heavily populated core of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies, part of the local supercluster. The Eyes Galaxies (NGC 4435-NGC 4438, also known as Arp 120) are a pair of galaxies about 52 million light-years away in Virgo. The pair are members of the string of galaxies known as Markarian's Chain. NGC 4435 is a barred lenticular galaxy currently interacting with NGC 4438. Studies of the galaxy by the Spitzer Space Telescope revealed a relatively young (190 million years) stellar population within the galaxy's nucleus, which may have originated through the interaction with NGC 4438. NGC 4438 is the most curious interacting galaxy in the Virgo Cluster, due to the uncertainty surrounding the energy mechanism that heats the nuclear source; this energy mechanism may be a starburst region, or a black hole-powered active galactic nucleus (AGN). Both hypotheses are currently under investigation by astronomers.(Wiki).
