What Wikipedia says

NGC 3395 is a peculiar spiral galaxy in the constellation of Leo Minor. The galaxy lies about 55 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 3395 is approximately 35,000 light years across. It was discovered by William Herschel on December 7, 1785.
