IC 3053 is a type Sab[1] barred spiral galaxy with a ring[2] located in the Coma Berenices constellation.[3] The galaxy lies 720 million light-years from the Solar System and has an estimated diameter of 180,000 light-years, meaning the galaxy is much larger compared to the Milky Way.[4] IC 3053 was first discovered by Royal Harwood Frost on May 7, 1904.[5] Despite being listed in the Virgo Cluster Catalogue as VCC 95, it is not a member of the Virgo Cluster due to its high redshift and is instead a background galaxy.[6]
Supernova
Core-collapse supernova iPTF14bbs was discovered in January 2014 in IC 3053.[7][8] It was located at right ascension of (12hr 13min 51s.816) and declination of (+14 degrees 13'10".85).[8] The type was unknown.[8]
