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.[citation needed] 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, a type Ia supernova which had an apparent magnitude of 13.8 at discovery.[5]
