NGC 5000 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices.[1] It was discovered by William Herschel in 1785. It is also known as LEDA 45658, MCG+05-31-144, UGC 8241, VV 460, III 366, h 1544, and GC 3433.
Herschel discovered it with the help of 18.7-inch f/13 speculum telescope.[2] It is very faint, very small and irregularly round with weak concentration.[3]
One supernova has been observed in NGC 5000: SN 2003el (type Ic, mag. 18.8).[4]
