Spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo
NGC 4451 is a
spiral galaxy in the
equatorial
Virgo
constellation . It was discovered at the
Copenhagen Observatory on March 19, 1865, by
Heinrich d'Arrest , who used an 11"
refractor telescope .
[8] The galaxy is located at a distance of 85
[4] million
light years and is receding with a heliocentric
radial velocity of 862 km/s.
[3] It is a member of the
Virgo cluster of galaxies.

In March 1985, Shigo Horiguchi in Japan
[9] discovered a
Type II-P supernova
[10] in this galaxy. Designated SN 1985G , it was positioned 2″ west and 5″ north of the galaxy center.
[9] The progenitor was estimated to have a mass of 21.7+4.4 −0.5
M ☉ and was 8.65+0.14 −1.34
[10] million years old.
