It is part of the Virgo Cluster, a group of galaxies that includes many other notable members. NGC 4369 has a diameter of about 70,000 light-years and is characterized by its bright central bar structure and well-defined spiral arms.
Discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in 1784, NGC 4369 is classified as a type SBc galaxy, indicating its spiral shape with a prominent bar. Observations of this galaxy contribute to our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution, particularly in dense environments like the Virgo Cluster.
