What Wikipedia says

NGC 3507 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo. The galaxy lies about 50 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 3507 is approximately 47,000 light years across. It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on March 14, 1784.
