What Wikipedia says

NGC 4691 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo. The galaxy lies about 70 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 4691 is approximately 60,000 light years across. It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 17 April 1784.
