NGC 4329 is an elliptical galaxy located 144 million light-years away in the constellation Corvus. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on March 9, 1828. NGC 4329 is host a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 3.1×108 solar masses. NGC 4329 is a member of a group of 5 galaxies known as [T2015] nest 100478. NGC 4329 is the brightest member of this group and the group includes the galaxies IC 785, IC 786, MCG-02-32-006, and LEDA 170189. The redshift of NGC 4329 places it in the within the bounds of the Hydra-Centaurus supercluster.
