NGC 5004 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices. The object was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on 13 March 1785, using an 18.7-inch aperture reflector telescope. Due to its moderate apparent magnitude ( 13), it is visible only with amateur telescopes or with superior equipment.
One supernova has been observed in NGC 5004: SN 1976A (type unknown, mag. 16.5) was discovered by Miklós Lovas on 28 February 1976.
