Our fixed point of view from Earth restricts our view, and regardless of the movement of celestial things, we are not likely to see a modification in our view of NGC 4423 due to the tremendous distances in space.Here we see NGC 4423, a galaxy that lies about 55 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. If NGC 4423 were viewed face-on it would resemble the shape that we most associate with spiral galaxies: the spectacular curving arms sweeping out from an intense center, sprinkled with dimmer, darker, less populated areas.
