IC 2759 is a small type E elliptical galaxy located in the constellation of Leo. [1] [2] [3] It is located 350 million light-years away from the Solar System [4] and was discovered on April 24, 1897, by Guillaume Bigourdan. [5] Sometimes IC 2759 is confused with the spiral galaxy, PGC 34882 which is located south of the galaxy. [6] [7]
