	Messier Object 86
		M86 has been discovered and cataloged by Charles Messier on March 18, 1781 when he also cataloged 7 more nebulous objects in the same region of the sky, all member galaxies of the Virgo Cluster, and in addition, globular cluster M92.
		M86 lies well in the heart of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies and forms a most conspicuous group with another giant, M84.
		The X-ray gas tail of M86 is dramatically apparent in recent Chandra X-ray Observatory images of this galaxy.

	M84 and M86 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		M84 and M86 are near the central core of the Virgo galaxy cluster.
		M84 and M86 are sometimes referred to as "the eyes," and form the beginning of a long curving chain of galaxies running eastward and then north near the Virgo-Coma border, ending with the bright spiral galaxy M88.
		M84 is the bright elliptical galaxy near the lower center of the image, and M86 is the bright elliptical galaxy near the upper center of the image.

	M86 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		M86 is the galaxy which has the fastest approaching velocity, and thus the highest blue shift, of all Messier galaxies (and thus all Messier objects): It is approaching us at 419 km/sec !
		However, it is just this high approach velocity which indicates that M86 is most probably a true cluster member, because of the following reason: In this case, the high velocity value would indicate that M86 is moving at a peculiar velocity of more than 1500 km/sec, which points by chance in a direction toward us.
		The Virgo cluster membership of M86 is also suggested by an apparent interaction with the intergalactic gaseous matter in the Virgo cluster, which was reported from radio observations.

	Chandra :: Photo Album :: M86 (NGC 4406) :: 01 Oct 03
		The supersonic motion of M86 produces pressure that is stripping gas from the galaxy and forming the spectacular tail.
		M86 has been pulled into the Virgo galaxy cluster and accelerated to a high speed by the enormous combined gravity of dark matter, hot gas, and hundreds of galaxies that comprise the cluster.
		It has been captured and its gas is being swept away to mix with the gas of the cluster, leaving an essentially gas-free galaxy orbiting the center of the cluster along with hundreds of other galaxies.

	Chandra :: Photo Album :: M86 :: More Images of M86
		M86 is an unusual galaxy in that it is one of a small number of galaxies that are moving toward Earth, rather than receding with the general expansion of the Universe.
		This expansion is carrying the Virgo cluster away from us at a speed of about 2 million miles per hour, but M86 is falling into the Virgo cluster from the far side of the cluster, giving it a net velocity of about 1 million miles per hour toward Earth.
		This optical image from the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) shows M86, a giant elliptical galaxy in theVirgo galaxy cluster about 50 million light years from Earth.

		The institutionalization of Moiwana'86 (M86) was the consequence of this unfortunate development and steady increase of cases of gross and systematic human rights violations.
		M86 considered it its main duty to press for the protection against violation of human rights and to prevent further deterioration.
		M86 is also committed to assist alleged victims to have cases addressed by the authorities (investigation, persecution and compensation and reparation).

	[29.07] Dust Streamers in the Virgo Galaxy M86 from Ram Pressure Stripping of its Companion VCC 882 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The giant elliptical galaxy M86 in Virgo has a 28 kpc long dust trail inside its optical halo that points toward the nucleated dwarf elliptical galaxy, VCC 882.
		Extinction measurements suggest that the ratio of the total gas mass in the trail to the blue luminosity of the dwarf is about unity, which is comparable to such ratios in dwarf irregular galaxies.
		The ram pressure experienced by the dwarf galaxy in the hot gaseous halo of M86 was comparable to the internal gravitational binding energy density of the presumed former gas disk in VCC 882.

	Universe Today - Virgo Cluster Sucks in Distant Galaxy
		Summary - (Oct 6, 2003) A new image taken by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory shows the elliptical galaxy M86 and its 200,000 light-year long tail.
		This gigantic galaxy is located in the Virgo galaxy cluster and moving 4.8 million kilometres per hour through clouds of gas in the cluster.
		The Virgo cluster is hurtling away from us, but M86 is on the opposite side and being pulled into it, so the net effect is that M86 is actually one of the few galaxies actually moving towards our own Milky Way.
