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).[1] However, a dozen non-redshift measurements give a distance of 19.642 ± 1.559 Mpc (∼64.1 million light-years).[2] The galaxy was discovered by Irish engineer Bindon Stoney on 14 April 1852.[3]

One supernova has been observed in NGC 4330: SN 2024phz (type II, mag. 17.7).[4]

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.[5]

NGC 4330 is also listed as catalog number VCC 0630, a member of the Virgo Cluster.[6]
