NGC 4383 is aspiral galaxy located in the constellationComa Berenices, within theVirgo Cluster. It was discovered on 23 May 1862 byEduard Schönfeld.[2] It is one of the mostH I-rich galaxies in the cluster, hosting a 6-kiloparsec (20,000 ly) bipolar outflow, travelling at an average velocity of 210 kilometres per second. The outflow was studied using theMulti-unit spectroscopic explorer (MUSE) at theVery Large Telescope (VLT).[3][4]
