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]
