NGC 3191
Galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NGC 3191 (also known as NGC 3192) is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It is located at a distance of about 400 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 3191 is about 115,000 light years across. The galaxy has been distorted and interacts with a companion 1.3 arcminutes to the west. An extremely blue tidal bridge lies between them.[2] It was discovered by Gaia on 23 May 2017.
