NGC 4541

galaxy

NGC 4541 is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation of Virgo. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 7,229±25 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 347.8 ± 24.4 Mly (106.63 ± 7.47 Mpc). However, eight non-redshift measurements give a closer mean distance of 312.09 ± 9.57 Mly (95.688 ± 2.933 Mpc). It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 1 January 1786.
