Congratulations on this excellent venture… what a great idea!
Alexander Grigorievskiy
I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like.
What we do. Every page goes through several hundred of perfecting techniques; in live mode. Quite the same Wikipedia. Just better.
Great Wikipedia has got greater.

NGC 4123 is a modest-sized,[10] strongly-barred spiral galaxy[7] located 75 million light-years[4] away in the equatorial constellation of Virgo. It was discovered February 25, 1784 by William Herschel.[5] This is a member of the Virgo cluster, and it belongs to a group of three galaxies.[11] A companion galaxy, NGC 4116, lies at an angular separation of 14′ to the southwest. There is no indication of an interaction between the two galaxies.[7] The third member of the group is NGC 4179.[11]

The morphological classification of NGC 4123 is SBx(rs)ab, which indicates this is a spiral galaxy with a central X-shaped bar (SBx) encircled by an incomplete ring structure (rs) and moderate to tightly wound spiral arms (ab). The plane of the galaxy is inclined at an angle of 46.9° to the line of sight from the Earth. It lacks a large spheroidal bulge at the core, showing only a luminous point-like source.[10] Blue knots in the outer spiral arms indicate that star formation is ongoing.[7] The galaxy has a stellar mass of 1.95×1010 M☉[6] with a star formation rate of 3.429±3.281 M☉·yr−1.[12] The atomic gas in the galaxy has a mass of 1.06×1010 M☉.[10]

Radio emission has been detected from an HII nucleus, which is consistent with it having a weak active galactic nucleus.[13] If there is a supermassive black hole at the core, it has an estimated mass of 107 M☉.[14]
