NGC 4330 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Virgo. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1898 ± 24 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 27.99 ± 1.99 Mpc (∼112 million light-years).[1] However, a dozen non-redshift measurements give a distance of 19.642 ± 1.559 Mpc (∼64.1 million light-years).[2] The galaxy was discovered by Irish engineer Bindon Stoney on 14 April 1852.[3]
