Messier 58 (also known as M58 and NGC 4579) is an intermediate barred spiral galaxy with a weak inner ring structure located within the constellation Virgo, approximately 68 million light-years away from Earth.[9][10] It was discovered by Charles Messier on April 15, 1779 and is one of four barred spiral galaxies that appear in Messier's catalogue.[11][12][13][14][15][Note 1] M58 is one of the brightest galaxies in the Virgo Cluster.[16][17] From 1779 it was arguably (though unknown at that time) the farthest known astronomical object[18] until the release of the New General Catalogue in the 1880s and even more so the publishing of redshift values in the 1920s.
