NGC 4451is aspiral galaxyin theequatorialVirgoconstellation.It was discovered at theCopenhagen Observatoryon March 19, 1865, byHeinrich d'Arrest,who used an 11 "refractor telescope.[8]The galaxy is located at a distance of 85[4]millionlight yearsand is receding with a heliocentricradial velocityof 862 km/s.[3]It is a member of theVirgo clusterof galaxies.[6]
In March 1985, Shigo Horiguchi in Japan[9]discovered aType II-P supernova[10]in this galaxy. DesignatedSN 1985G,it was positioned2″west and5″north of the galaxy center.[9]The progenitor was estimated to have a mass of21.7+4.4
−0.5M☉and was8.65+0.14
−1.34[10]million years old.
