What Wikipedia says

NGC 3994 is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. The galaxy lies about 160 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 3994 is approximately 70,000 light years across. It was discovered by Heinrich d'Arrest on April 6, 1864.
