NGC 4294 is a barred spiral galaxy[2] with flocculent spiral arms[3] located about 55 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Virgo. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on March 15, 1784[4] and is a member of the Virgo Cluster.[5][6][7]
NGC 4294 appears to be undergoing ram-pressure[8][9] stripping edge-on.[8]
