NGC 5485 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Ursa Major. It was discovered by William Herschel on April 14, 1789.

Supernova

One supernova has been observed in NGC 5485: SN 1982W (Type I, mag. 15) was discovered by Miklós Lovas on 14 December 1982. The original report had mistakenly identified the host galaxy as NGC 5473, but R. Wood and J. Sinclair at the Royal Greenwich Observatory correctly confirmed the host as NGC 5485.
