IC 4000 (= PGC 2152407)
Discovered (1903) by
Max Wolf
A 15th-magnitude galaxy (type C?) in Canes Venatici (RA 12 59 37, Dec +39 35 16).

Based on recessional velocity of 33350 km/sec, about 1.5 billion light years away (making it one of the most distant NGC/IC objects). Given that and apparent size of 0.3 by 0.25 arcmins, about 130 thousand light years in diameter.
