NGC 3190is aspiral galaxywith tightly wound arms and lying in theconstellationLeo.It was discovered byWilliam Herschelin 1784. NGC 3190 is member ofHickson 44galaxy group, estimated at around 80 million light years away,[2]and consisting of four galaxies in a tight group -NGC 3193is fairly featureless,NGC 3187is a dim but striking spiral galaxy andNGC 3185has a barred spiral structure with an outer ring. It is also a member of theNGC 3190 Groupof galaxies, which is a member of theLeo II Groups,a series of galaxies andgalaxy clustersstrung out from the right edge of theVirgo Supercluster.[3]
In 2002 two supernovae were observed in the galaxy. A Brazilian amateur astronomer Paulo Cacella detected one supernova in the southeastern part in March 2002 (SN 2002bo), and then an Italian team, while studying the first one, detected a second supernova (SN 2002cv) on the other side two months later.[4][5]
In 2012Apple Incused a blue tinted image of NGC 3190 as their desktop image for their release ofOS X Mountain Lion.
