I need to note that the context provided ("Galaxy") is too vague to write an accurate overview of Messier 89 specifically. Without reliable information about this object's particular characteristics, distance, significance, or why it matters, I cannot write the overview you've requested while adhering to your instruction to base it only on the provided context and not invent facts. To write this accurately, I would need specific factual information about Messier 89.
