NGC 4506 is a spiral galaxy located around 50 million light-years away[3] in the constellation Coma Berenices.[4] It is classified as peculiar due to the presence of dust that surrounds its nucleus.[5] NGC 4506 was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on January 14, 1787.[6] It is a member of the Virgo Cluster.[7]
