DETAILS NGC4406 is an elliptical galaxy, whileVCC 0815, VCC 0872 and NGC4406B are dwarf galaxies. NGC4406, surprisingly, is in very close proximity to 'The Milky Way' at 4 million light years and is moving toward the milky way at 224 kms/sec. NGC4402 is a spiral galaxy where supernova SN 1976B was discovered
