NGC 3833 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Virgo, about 280 million light-years from Earth. Discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 15, 1784, NGC 3833 has a Hubble classification of "Sc," indicating loosely wound spiral arms and a relatively small central bulge. The galaxy spans roughly 1.4 by 0.7 arcminutes in the night sky and shines with an apparent magnitude of around 13.5, making it a faint object suitable for observation with larger telescopes.
Due to its distance and redshift (z ≈ 0.020214), NGC 3833 is part of the large Virgo Cluster of galaxies, a group containing thousands of galaxies. In various catalogs, it is also known as PGC 36441 and UGC 6692.[1][2][3]
