IC 2650 (= PGC 1442333)
Discovered (Mar 27, 1906) by
Max Wolf (7-25)
A 15th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type S pec?) in Leo (RA 11 14 52.4, Dec +13 51 10)

Based on a recessional velocity of 20205 km/sec, a straightforward calculation indicates that IC 2650 is about 940 million light years away. However, for objects at such distances we must take the expansion of the Universe during the time it took their light to reach us into account. Doing that shows that IC 2640 was about 870 million light years away when the light by which we see it left the galaxy, about 900 million years ago (the difference between the two numbers being due to the expansion of the Universe during that interval). Given that and the galaxy's apparent size of 0.4 by 0.3 arcmin, it is about 100 thousand light years across.
