NGC 4332 is a barred spiral galaxy[2] and a starburst galaxy[3] located 128 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Draco. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on March 20, 1790.[4] NGC 4332 is host to a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 9.5×107 solar masses.[5]

NGC 4332 is a member of the NGC 4256 Group,[6][7][8] and is located in a subgroup surrounding the galaxy NGC 4210.[9] The NGC 4256 Group is located within the Canes Venatici-Camelopardalis Cloud,[6] which lies in the First Upper Plane of the Virgo Supercluster.[7]
