NGC 3312 is a large[3] and highly inclined[4] spiral galaxy[5] located about 194 million light-years away[6] in the constellation Hydra.[7] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on March 26, 1835. It was later rediscovered by astronomer Guillaume Bigourdan on February 26, 1887. NGC 3312 was later listed and equated with IC 629 because the two objects share essentially the same celestial coordinates.[8][9] NGC 3312 is the largest spiral galaxy[3] in the Hydra Cluster[3][10] and is also classified as a LINER galaxy.[11][4]
