One of the brighter members of the Virgo Cluster, M58 is a barred spiral galaxy. In other words, it is a spiral galaxy, but instead of a spherical bulge at its center, it has a bar-shaped structure at its center. About two-thirds of all spiral galaxies in the local universe have bars, including (perhaps) our own Milky Way.

The Shahroud Cloud Forest is one of the most beautiful forest areas in Iran, which is called the Cloud Ocean Forest due to the closeness of the clouds to the ground and trees. This area is a part of the Hyrcanian forests of northern Iran in the eastern Alborz mountains, which is located on the border between Semnan and Golestan provinces.
