NGC 4429 is a lenticular galaxy[3] located about 55 million light-years away[2] in the constellation of Virgo.[4] NGC 4429 is tilted at an inclination of about 75° which means that the galaxy is tilted almost edge-on as seen from Earth.[2] NGC 4429 was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on March 15, 1784.[5] The galaxy is a member of the Virgo Cluster.[2][6]
