NGC 3883 is a large[3] low surface brightness[4][5] spiral galaxy located about 330 million light-years away[6] in the constellation Leo.[7] NGC 3883 has a prominent bulge but does not host an AGN. The galaxy also has flocculent spiral arms in its disk.[5] It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 13, 1785[8] and is a member of the Leo Cluster.[3][9]
