NGC 4330
NGC 4330 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Virgo. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1898 ± 24 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 27.99 ± 1.99 Mpc (∼112 million light-years). However, a dozen non-redshift measurements give a much closer distance of 19.642 ± 1.559 Mpc (∼64.1 million light-years). The galaxy was discovered by Irish engineer Bindon Stoney on 14 April 1852.
One supernova has been observed in NGC 4330: SN 2024phz (type II, mag. 17.669) was discovered by ATLAS on 11 July 2024.
M87 Group and Virgo Cluster
According to A.M. Garcia, NGC 4330 is a member of the M87 group (also known as LGG 289). This group contains at least 96 members.
NGC 4330 is also listed as catalog number VCC 0630, a member of the Virgo Cluster.
