NGC 4145 is abarred spiral galaxy located 68 millionlight years from theEarth. The galaxy has littlestar formation, except on its outer edges. Due to the loss of energy that occurs without star formation, some astronomers predict that the galaxy will degenerate into alenticular galaxy in the near future. However, the galaxy's interaction withNGC 4151 may "maintain [its] star formation".[2][4]
NGC 4145 is a member of theNGC 4151 Group.[5][6][7][8]
