NGC 4326
NGC 4326 is a barred spiral galaxy with a ring located about 330 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 13, 1784, who described it as "vF, S, R, bM, 1st of 3". It is a large galaxy, with a diameter of around 200,000 ly (61 kpc) making it nearly twice the size of the Milky Way. NGC 4326 is also classified as a LINER galaxy. Despite being listed in the Virgo Cluster catalog as VCC 623, it is not a member of the Virgo Cluster but instead a background galaxy.
NGC 4326 is host to a supermassive black hole with and estimated mass of 3.7×108 solar masses.
NGC 4326 forms a pair with the galaxy NGC 4333, known as [T2015] nest 102514, in which NGC 4326 is the brightest member of the pair. Both galaxies are part of the CfA2 Great Wall.
