NGC 3884 is a spiral galaxy located about 330 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Leo.[3] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 27, 1785[4] and is a member of the Leo Cluster.[5][6][7]

Although it is classified as a LINER galaxy,[8][9] NGC 3884 is also classified as a type 1 seyfert galaxy.[2][10]

SN 2018yn

On February 23, 2018, a type Ic supernova designated as SN 2018yn was discovered in NGC 3884.[11][12]
