NGC 4096 is a

light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 4096 is approximately 80,000 light years across.[1] It was discovered by William Herschel on March 9, 1788.[3]

NGC 4096 is a spiral galaxy visible with an inclination of 76°.

H-alpha emissions following a lopsided spiral arm.[8] The total stellar mass of the galaxy is estimated to be (6.13±0.1)×109 M☉.[9] The star formation rate of the galaxy is estimated to be between 0.22 and 0.43 M☉ per year.[4]

Two

type II-P supernova with magnitude 18.2 upon discovery. The spectrum indicated it was about two weeks post maximum and significantly reddened.[12][13]

Garcia in 1993 considered the galaxy to be a member of LGG 269 group, along with

Local Supercluster.[16]
