NGC 4606 is a spiral galaxy located about 55 million light-years away[2] in the constellation of Virgo.[3] NGC 4606 was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on March 15, 1784.[4] It has a disturbed stellar disk suggesting the actions of gravitational interactions.[5] NGC 4607 may be a possible companion of NGC 4606.[6] However, their redshifts differ by about 600 km/s, making it unlikely that they are a gravitationally bound pair.[7] NGC 4606 is a member of the Virgo Cluster.[8]
