Galaxy in the constellation Virgo
NGC 4318 is a smalllenticular galaxy [ 3] light-years away[ 5] Virgo . It was discovered by astronomerJohn Herschel on January 18, 1828.[ 6] Virgo W′ group ,[ 2] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9] Virgo Cluster [ 2] elliptical galaxy NGC 4365 .[ 9]
Physical characteristics [ edit ] NGC 4318 contains a small,[ 3] bulge [ 10] ly (70 pc ).[ 11] ly (560 pc ) beyond which lies a larger outer disk.[ 3] [ 12]
NGC 4318 harbors asupermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 4 million (× 106 M☉ )solar masses .[ 13] [ 14] [ 15]
NGC 4318 is surrounded by 18globular clusters .[ 16] [ 17]
