NGC 3914 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Virgo. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 6466 ± 25 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 95.38 ± 6.69 Mpc (~311 million light-years).[1] However, six non-redshift measurements give a distance of 81.2 ± 2.8 Mpc (~265 million light-years).[2] The galaxy was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 13 April 1784.[3]
The SIMBAD database lists NGC 3914 as a radio galaxy.[4]
One supernova has been observed in NGC 3914: SN 2023fnj (Type Ia, mag. 18.679) was discovered by ATLAS on 14 April 2023.[5]
