NGC 4090 is a spiral galaxy located 340 million light-years away [2] in the constellation Coma Berenices. [3] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer Heinrich d'Arrest on May 2, 1864 [4] and is a member of the NGC 4065 Group. [5] [6] [7] [8]
On April 5, 2018 a type Ia supernova designated as SN 2018aqh was discovered in NGC 4090. [10] [11] [12] [13]
