NGC 3003 is a nearly edge-on barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Leo Minor, discovered by William Herschel on December 7, 1785.[4] It has an apparent visual magnitude of 11.78,[3] at a distance of 19.5 Mpc from the Sun.[2] It has a recessional velocity of 1474 km/s.[1]
In 1961, a type II supernova with an apparent magnitude of 13.0 was detected within the galaxy, and was subsequently designated SN 1961F.[5]
