I-NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope ibuyisele eMhlabeni isithombe esihle somthala oqokwe i-NGC 4621, owaziwa nangokuthi i-Messier 59.
Into ebizwa ngokuthi i-elliptical galaxy. Izakhiwo zalolu hlobo zibonakala ngokuma kwe-ellipsoidal nokukhanya okunciphayo kuye emaphethelweni.
Imithala eyi-Elliptical yakhiwe ngezidondoshiya ezibomvu neziphuzi, ezincane ezibomvu neziphuzi kanye nenani lezinkanyezi ezimhlophe ezingakhanyi kakhulu.
Umthala i-Messier 59 utholakala kumlaza we-Virgo ebangeni elingaba iminyaka yokukhanya eyizigidi ezingama-50 ukusuka kithi. Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi uMessier 59 ungomunye wamalungu agqamile weqoqo elidumile le-galaxy Virgo. Iqukethe okungenani imithala eyi-1300 (okungenzeka ukuthi icishe ibe ngu-2000).
Isithombe esethulwe sithathwe kusetshenziswa i-Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) ebhodini i-Hubble, eyafakwa phakathi nomsebenzi wokusevisa isibonakude.
