Although M 90 is conspicuous and bright, studies indicate quite a low value for its mass, which implies that the galaxy has a very low star density. It has tightly-wound, smooth spiral arms, rather than knotted arms like galaxies with extended star formation, which appear to be completely "fossil", meaning that no star formation appears to take place in them currently. 

IC 3583 is a 12th magnitude Irregular Galaxy appearing in the constellation Virgo. It is 31 million light years from our solar system.
