NGC 4485 is a small, irregular galaxy located approximately 25 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. It is part of a group of galaxies known as the NGC 4485/NGC 4486 group, which includes the larger galaxy NGC 4486. This galaxy is notable for its distorted shape and active star formation, which is often seen in irregular galaxies. NGC 4485 is thought to have interacted with nearby galaxies, leading to its unique structure and the presence of bright star clusters within it.
