NGC 4918

NGC 4918 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Virgo. It is estimated to be approximately 170 million light-years from Earth. Classified as SBbc under the de Vaucouleurs system, NGC 4918 exhibits a distinct bar structure running through its nucleus and loosely wound spiral arms.

The galaxy is considered a field galaxy, meaning it is not a member of a dense galaxy cluster. Its redshift indicates its distance and recession velocity due to the expansion of the universe. Further research on NGC 4918 could contribute to a better understanding of galaxy formation, evolution, and the distribution of matter in the local universe.
