NGC 4298 is a flocculent[3][4][5][6] spiral galaxy located about 53 million light-years away[7] in the constellation Coma Berenices. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 8, 1784[8] and is a member of the Virgo Cluster.[9][10][11]
NGC 4298 may harbor an intermediate-mass black hole with an estimated mass ranging from 20,000 (2×104 M☉) to 500,000 (5×105 M☉) solar masses.[12]
