NGC 4680 is a spiral/lenticular galaxy in the constellation Virgo.[2] It is estimated to be 106 million light-years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of about 45,000 ly.[3] In the same area of the sky there are, among other things: the galaxies NGC 4700 and NGC 4708. NGC 4680 was discovered on May 27, 1835, by John Herschel using an 18-inch reflecting telescope, who described it as "eF, S, has one or two small stars entangled in it".[4]
One supernova has been observed in NGC 4680. SN 1997bp (type Ia, mag. 13.8) was discovered by Robert Evans on 6 April 1997.[5][6] NGC 4680 is part of a galaxy group known as NGC 4658 Group or LGG 304, NGC 4658, NGC 4680, NGC 4682, MCG 2-33-20, MCG 1-33-32 and MCG 2-33-10.[7]
