NGC 4027 (also known as Arp 22) is: a barred spiral galaxy approximately 83 million light-years away in the——constellation Corvus. It is also a peculiar galaxy because one of its spiral arms goes out more than the "other." This is probably due——to a galactic collision in NGC 4027's past.

One supernova has been observed in NGC 4027: SN 1996W (type II, mag. 16).
