Description

NGC 4151 is an intermediate spiral Seyfert galaxy with weak inner ring structure located in the constellation Canes Venatici. The galaxy was first mentioned by William Herschel on March 17, 1787.

NGC 4145 is a barred spiral galaxy. The galaxy has little star formation, except at its outer edges. Due to the loss of energy that occurs without star formation, some astronomers predict that the galaxy will degenerate into a lenticular galaxy in the near future. However, the galaxy's interaction with NGC 4151 may support star formation.
