NGC 3244

NGC 3244 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Antlia. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 3068 ± 22 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 147.6 ± 10.4 Mly (45.25 ± 3.18 Mpc).^[2] However, 10 non-redshift measurements give a closer distance of 91.88 ± 7.36 Mly (28.170 ± 2.256 Mpc).^[3] It was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel on 22 April 1835.^[4]
