NGC 4306is adwarf[2][3][4]barred lenticular galaxylocated about 100 millionlight-yearsaway[5]in the constellationVirgo.The galaxy was discovered by astronomerHeinrich d'Arreston April 16, 1865.[6]Although considered to be a member of theVirgo Cluster,[4][7]its high radial velocity and similar distance asNGC 4305suggest that NGC 4306 is a background galaxy.[8]NGC 4306 is a companion ofNGC 4305[8]and appears to be interacting with it.[9][10]
