NGC 4402 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Virgo. It is part of the Virgo Cluster, which is a group of galaxies that are relatively close to Earth. NGC 4402 is approximately 60 million light-years away and has a diameter of about 50,000 light-years. This galaxy is notable for its distorted shape, likely caused by gravitational interactions with nearby galaxies. Observations of NGC 4402 reveal features such as a bright central bar and prominent spiral arms, making it an interesting subject for astronomers studying galaxy formation and evolution.
