NGC 4490 along with NGC 4485, it makes a pair of galaxies often known by the nickname of the "Cocoon Galaxies". Each "cocoon" is actually a spiral galaxy that has been distorted by the other. Hints of spiral structure are still evident in the smaller galaxy. These galaxies have already passed their closest approach (perigalacticon) and are now speeding away from each other. NGC 4485 Y 4490 COCOON/ GX / CANES VENATICI / EXPO=20X15" stack / FWHM=6,9 / ALTIT= 34ยบ/ Moon=0
