NGC 4515 is a barred spiral galaxy located approximately 60 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It is classified as a type SBc galaxy, which means it has a prominent bar structure and loosely wound spiral arms. Discovered by William Herschel in 1784, NGC 4515 is notable for its bright central region and the presence of several star-forming regions. Its relatively low surface brightness makes it less prominent than other galaxies, but it remains an interesting object for astronomers studying galaxy formation and evolution.
