 | Spiral galaxy M90 is one of the eight galaxies found and cataloged on March 18, 1781 by Charles Messier in the Coma-Virgo region, in addition to M92, the Hercules globular, to round up score to nine newly cataloged objects on that day. |
 | M90 is one of the larger (9.5x4.5') spirals in the Virgo Cluster of Galaxies. |
