NGC 4359 is a dwarf barred spiral galaxy [2] [3] seen edge-on that is about 56 million light-years away [4] in the constellation Coma Berenices. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on March 20, 1787. [5] It is a member of the NGC 4274 Group, [6] [7] which is part of the Coma I Group [6] [7] or Cloud. [8]
On the sky, NGC 4359 appears to lie closest to the flocculent spiral NGC 4414 [9] which is also a member of the NGC 4274 Group [7] and the Coma I cloud. [8] However, their radial velocities differ by around 500 km/s suggesting an interaction between the two is unlikely. [9]
