IC 3528 is spiral galaxy located 660 million light-years[1] away in the constellation of Coma Berenices.[2] It lies near to another spiral galaxy NGC 4540, although the two of them are quite far.[3][4] The object was discovered by Royal Harwood Frost on May 7, 1904.[5] Although listed as a member in the Virgo Cluster Catalogue[6] as VCC 1593, it is not a member of the Virgo cluster but a background galaxy.[7]
