NGC 4065

NGC 4065 is an elliptical galaxy located 300 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Coma Berenices.[3] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 27, 1785. It was then rediscovered by John Herschel on April 29, 1832 and was listed as NGC 4057.[4] NGC 4065 is the brightest[5][6][7][8] member of the NGC 4065 Group.[5][9][10][6][11][12][13][7][14][15]

NGC 4065 is a companion of NGC 4061.[10][16] The two galaxies form an interacting[16][6] pair, as evidenced by distortions in their optical isophotes.[6][11]

It is classified as a radio galaxy.[11][6]
