NGC4632 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Virgo. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background for is, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of. However, 15 non-redshift measurements give a much closer distance of. It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 22 February 1784.

Polar Ringed Galaxy

It was discovered in 2023 that the galaxies NGC 4632 and NGC 6156 are surrounded by a disk of cold hydrogen orbiting 90 degrees around their disks. These are the very first polar-ringed galaxies discovered through radio wave observations. These observations were made as part of the WALLABY astronomical survey.
