NGC 4098

NGC 4098 is an interacting[2] pair of spiral galaxies[2][3] located 330 million light-years away[3] in the constellation Coma Berenices.[4] NGC 4098 was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 26, 1785. It was then rediscovered by Hershel on December 27, 1786 was listed as NGC 4099.[5] NGC 4098 is a member of the NGC 4065 Group.[6][7][8][9][10]
