NGC 4965 is a 12.1 likes bright barred spiral galaxy with extensive star formation from Hubble type SBCD in the constellation of Hydra south of the ecliptic . It is estimated to be 95 million light years away from the Milky Way and has a diameter of around 70,000 ly.
In the same area of the sky is the galaxy NGC 4980 .
The Type II n supernova SN 2000P was observed here.
The object was discovered on May 5, 1834 by John Herschel with an 18-inch reflector telescope, which it marked with “vF, vL, oval; cf.bM, 3 ′ long, 2 ′ broad “. On a second observation he noted “eF, vL, oval; vlbM, 3 ′ “.
