NGC 4435 is a lenticular galaxy of the Hubble type SB0 in the constellation Virgo . It is about 33 million light years from the Milky Way . NGC 4435 interacts with the galaxy NGC 4438 (Arp 120 ) about 100,000 light years away . Astronomers suspect that the two raced past each other about 100 million years ago, about 16,000 light years away. Halton Arp organized his catalog of unusual galaxies into groups according to purely morphological criteria. This galaxy belongs to the class of elliptical galaxies close to spiral galaxies and disturbing them (Arp catalog) .
NGC 4435 belongs to the so-called Markaryan chain , a group of galaxies in an area about 1.5 degrees in diameter. It is part of the Virgo cluster .
The object was discovered by Wilhelm Herschel on April 8, 1784 .
