Dark Ranger (TM) Postcard - The Needle Galaxy (NGC 4565)

The Needle Galaxy’s distance is uncertain (30-50 Mly?), because after 240+ years of observation, astronomers have never detected a star exploding as a supernova (our best galactic tape-measure) within the Needle. We know it is a massive galaxy with 1-trillion stars. Since big spiral galaxies should get ~2 supernovas per century, the Needle is way overdue. When one finally happens, we will print a revised postcard, making this version a collector's item. Try to keep your copy nice.
