NGC 4707


NGC 4707 is an irregular galaxy in the constellation of Canes Venatici. It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 26 April 1789, and described by John Louis [Emil Dreyer], the compiler of the New General Catalogue, as a "small, stellar" galaxy.
NGC 4707 has a morphological type of Sm or Im, meaning that it is mostly irregular or has very weak spiral arms. The galaxy was imaged by the Hubble [Space Telescope] in 2016. The image showed the galaxy had little to no signs of a central bulge or any prominent structures. However, the telescope could resolve many stars, as well as several turquoise-colored star [forming region]s.
