NGC 4677 is a barred spiral galaxy located approximately 60 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel on April 7, 1784. The galaxy is notable for its bright central bar structure and well-defined spiral arms.
This galaxy is part of the Virgo Cluster, a large group of galaxies that includes many other notable members. NGC 4677 has an apparent magnitude of about 13.5, making it faint and challenging to observe without a telescope. Its study contributes to our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution.
