Spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo
NGC 4307 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located about 65 million light-years away[ 2] in the constellation Virgo . It was discovered by astronomer Christian Peters in 1881[ 3] and is a member of the Virgo Cluster .[ 4] [ 5] [ 6] It is also a LINER galaxy.[ 7] [ 8]
On March 7, 2019 a supernova of an unknown type known as AT 2019bpt was discovered in NGC 4307.[ 9] [ 10] [ 11]
