IC 4026 is a type S0 lenticular galaxy with a bar[1] located in Coma Berenices.[2][3] It is located 315 million light-years away from the Solar System and has an approximate diameter of 70,000 light-years which is less the size of the Milky Way.[4] IC 4026 was discovered on May 11, 1896, by astronomer Hermann Kobold[5] and is a member of the Coma Cluster.[4][6][7] It has a surface brightness of 11.99 mag/arcsecs meaning it is a high surface brightness galaxy.[8]
