What Wikipedia says

NGC 3908 is one of the furthest NGC objects. It is an elliptical galaxy located 1.2 billion light-years away in the Leo constellation with an estimated 280,000 thousand light-years across in diameter. It was discovered on April 10, 1885, by Lewis Swift, who found the object too faint for the naked eye to see.
