... Credit Copyright: Data - Hubble Legacy Archive , ESA , NASA ; Processing - Roberto Colombari Explanation: How far away is spiral galaxy NGC 4921? ... Since NGC 4921 is a member of the Coma Cluster of Galaxies , refining its distance would also allow a better distance determination to one of the largest nearby clusters in the local universe. The magnificent spiral NGC 4921 has been informally dubbed anemic because of its low rate of star formation and low surface brightness . ...
