NGC 4414 is an active spiral galaxy of the Hubble-type Sc with extensive star formation areas in the constellation Haar der Berenike in the northern sky . It is estimated to be 32 million light years from the Milky Way and about 40,000 light years in diameter. Together with 18 other galaxies, it forms the NGC 4274 group ( LGG 279 ).
In the same area of the sky are u. a. the galaxies NGC 4359 and IC 3330 .
With the help of the 30-meter radio telescope operated by IRAM on Pico del Veleta in Spain , carbon monoxide was detected for the first time in the outskirts of NGC 4414; apparently the galaxy is 1.5 times the size of its visible part.
On April 20, 1974 has been W. Burgat the supernova SN 1974G from Type Ia discovered.
On June 7, 2013, Fabrizio Ciabattari and Emiliano Mazzoni from the Italian Supernovae Search Project (ISSP) discovered the Type II Supernova SN 2013df .
The object was discovered on March 13, 1785 by the German-British astronomer Wilhelm Herschel .
