NGC 4475 is aspiral galaxy in theconstellation ofComa Berenices. Its velocity with respect to thecosmic microwave background is7,681±20 km/s, which corresponds to aHubble distance of 369.5 ± 25.9 Mly (113.29 ± 7.94 Mpc).[1] However, 12non-redshift measurements give a closer mean distance of 327.60 ± 10.87 Mly (100.442 ± 3.334 Mpc).[2] It was discovered by German-British astronomerWilliam Herschel on 11 April 1785.[3][4]
