NGC 4316 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located about 70 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by astronomer Wilhelm Tempel on March 17, 1882.[3] NGC 4316 is a member of the Virgo Cluster[4][5] and is classified as LINER and as a Seyfert galaxy.[2][6]
The galaxy has undergone ram-pressure stripping in the past.[7]
On February 28, 2003 a type II supernova known as SN 2003bk was discovered in NGC 4316.[8][9][10][11]
