IC 2754
IC 2754 is a type Sc[1] spiral galaxy located in the constellation Leo. Its redshift is 0.070479,[2] which corresponds to IC 2754 being 970 million light-years from Earth.[3] It has an apparent dimension of 0.50 x 0.2 arcmin, which means IC 2754 is 141,000 light-years across.[4] IC 2754 was discovered on March 27, 1906, by Max Wolf.[5][6][7]
