NGC 3914 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Virgo. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 6466 ± 25 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 95.38 ± 6.69 Mpc (∼311 million light-years). [1] However, six non-redshift measurements give a distance of 81.2 ± 2.8 Mpc (∼265 million light-years). [2] The galaxy was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 13 April 1784.
