NGC 4881 is an elliptical spiral galaxy of the Hubble type E in the constellation Haar der Berenike , on the edge of the Coma galaxy cluster . It is estimated that 302 million light-years from the Milky Way from
It is a typical representative of elliptical galaxies. A typical feature is their abundance of mass . Your gas supply is largely exhausted, with the result that no more stars are formed. Some globular clusters move around the galaxy . NGC 4881 was discovered by Heinrich Louis d'Arrest on April 22, 1865 .
