NGC 4014 also known as NGC 4028, is a type S0-a[2] lenticular galaxy in the Coma Berenices constellation.[3][4] NGC 4014 is located 197 million light-years from Earth.[1] The galaxy is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres at certain times of the year.[5]

NGC 4014 was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on December 30, 1783. But it was rediscovered on April 26, 1832, by John Herschel who listed NGC 4014 as NGC 4028.[6]
