NGC 4320, is a peculiar galaxy[2] located about 370 million light-years away[3] in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by astronomer Heinrich d'Arrest on April 15, 1865[2] and is a member of the NGC 4325 Group.[4][5][6]

NGC 4320 appears to be the end result[2] of an interaction[7] and merger of two spiral galaxies.[2]
