NGC 4326 is a barred spiral galaxy with a ring[2] located about 330 million light-years away[3] in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 13, 1784,[4] who described it as "vF, S, R, bM, 1st of 3".[5] It is a large galaxy, with a diameter of around 200,000 ly (61 kpc) making it nearly twice the size of the Milky Way.[3] NGC 4326 is also classified as a LINER galaxy.[6] Despite being listed in the Virgo Cluster catalog as VCC 623, it is not a member of the Virgo Cluster but instead a background galaxy.[7]
NGC 4326 forms a pair with the galaxy NGC 4333, known as [T2015] nest 102514,[9][10] in which NGC 4326 is the birghtest member of the pair.[10] Both galaxies are part of the CfA2 Great Wall.[11]
