NGC 4608 is a barred lenticular galaxy located in the constellation of Virgo. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on March 15, 1784. [3] At about 56 million light-years (17.3 megaparsecs) away, [2] it is a member of the Virgo Cluster. [4]

NGC 4608 is a Barred Spiral Galaxy located in the constellation of Virgo in the equatorial region. NGC 4608's distance from Earth is 56,382,653.01 light years. NGC 4608 is called NGC 4608 in the New General Catalogue (NGC).

NGC 4608 is a Lenticular Galaxy in the Virgo constellation. NGC 4608 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year.

lenticular and face-on galaxies NGC 4608 and NGC 5701. The results indicate that either these galaxies have never had large disks or their disks were almost completely destroyed by their strong bars because of secular evolution processes. We discuss these surprising conclusions, checking for signs of secular evolution, considering

We discuss these surprising conclusions, checking for signs of secular evolution, considering bar-forming instabilities, and suggesting, based on N-body simulations, a new mechanism to form bars in spheroids, which includes nonspherical halos.

NGC 4608 . NGC 4608 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Virgo. Some key stats include:

From Virginia Beach , NGC4608 is visible in the morning sky, becoming accessible around 21:03, when it reaches an altitude of 21° above your eastern horizon. It will then reach its highest point in the sky at 01:44, 63° above your southern horizon. It will be lost to dawn twilight around 05:23, 33° above your western horizon.

Inside its B/P bulge, NGC 4608 has a compact, almost circular structure (half-light radius R e ≈ 310 pc, Sérsic n = 2.2) we identify as a classical bulge, amounting to 12.1 per cent of the total light, along with a nuclear star cluster (R e ∼ 4 pc).
