NGC 4313

NGC 4313 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located about 50 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on March 15, 1784.[3] NGC 4313 is a member of the Virgo Cluster[4][5] and is classified as LINER[2][6] and as a Seyfert galaxy.[6]

gollark: Oh, right. The types are just there so my editor is helpful.
gollark: What?
gollark: sed is Turing-complete, so if a computer can run your translation process, so can sed.
gollark: Just use sed.
gollark: How would you "use GPT" for this?
