C36 / NGC 4559 The Koi Fish Galaxy - telescope processed image by the Dwarf Mini. The Koi Fish Galaxy is an intermediate spiral galaxy located roughly 30 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices.

C36 / NGC 4559 The Koi Fish Galaxy - telescope processed image by the s50. It earned its nickname due to its elongated shape and mottled appearance, which resemble the scales and fluid movement of a Japanese koi fish.

C36 / NGC 4559 The Koi Fish Galaxy - unprocessed image by the Dwarf Mini. The galaxy is home to a powerful ultraluminous X-ray source, suggesting the presence of a rare intermediate-mass black hole or a binary system.

C36 / NGC 4559 The Koi Fish Galaxy - unprocessed image by the s50. Its spiral arms are filled with H II regions, which are vast clouds of ionized gas where intense, "starburst" style star formation is occurring.

C36 / NGC 4559 Galaxy - telescope processed image. It contains a rare "Luminous Blue Variable" star that has experienced repeated supernova-like outbursts nearly every year for the past decade.

C36 / NGC 4559 Galaxy - unprocessed image. The galaxy is home to multiple "Ultraluminous X-ray" sources, which may be powered by elusive intermediate-mass black holes devouring nearby stars.
