NGC 3917 is a Spiral Galaxy located in the constellation of Ursa Major in the northern hemisphere. NGC 3917's distance from Earth is 53,349,398.70 light years. NGC 3917 is called NGC 3917 in the New General Catalogue (NGC).

NGC 3917 is a Spiral Galaxy in the Ursa Major constellation. NGC 3917 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. Given its B magnitude of 12.5, NGC 3917 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 10 inches (250mm) or more.

It is a magnitude 12 galaxy which spans 5 arc-minutes in our apparent view. This corresponds to a diameter of 90,000 light years. From our view perspective, the disk is inclined about 10 degrees from edge-on.

NGC 3917 was discovered by William Herschel on March 17, 1790. It's not in either H400 program. The annotated image gives the details. Only one quasar is in the image.

2021年6月13日 · Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation of 1155 km/sec (and H 0 = 70 km/sec/Mpc), NGC 3917 is about 50 to 55 million light years away, in good agreement with redshift-independent distance estimates of about 35 to 65 million light years. Given that and its apparent size of about ...
