IC 838 known as NGC 4849A, PGC 44444 and other names, is a type Sbc[1] barred spiral galaxy located in Coma Berenices. Its redshift is 0.069181,[2] meaning the galaxy is located 954 million light-years from Earth.[3] IC 838 was discovered by Rudolf Spitaler on February 24, 1892[4] and has an apparent dimension of 0.50 x 0.5 arcmin, meaning it is about 140,000 light-years across.[5] IC 838 forms an optical pair with the lenticular galaxy NGC 4849, located south, which together makes up HOLM 495.[6][7]
