Hoʻokumu ʻia nā galaxies elliptical mai nā pilikua ʻulaʻula a melemele, nā dwarf ʻulaʻula a melemele a me nā hōkū keʻokeʻo ʻaʻole kiʻekiʻe loa.
Aia ka Messier 59 galaxy i loko o ka constellation Virgo ma kahi mamao o 50 miliona mau makahiki māmā mai iā mākou. Pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻia ʻo Messier 59 kekahi o nā lālā ʻoi loa o ka pūʻulu galaxy Virgo kaulana. Aia ma kahi o 1300 (ma kahi o 2000 paha) nā galaxies.
Ua kiʻi ʻia ke kiʻi i hōʻike ʻia me ka Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) ma luna o ka moku Hubble, i hoʻokomo ʻia i ka wā o kekahi o nā mikiona lawelawe o ka telescope.
