NGC 3384 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Leo. The galaxy was discovered by William Herschel in 1784 as part of the Herschel 400 Catalogue . The high age of the stars in the central region of NGC 3384 was confirmed after analysis of their color.

NGC 3384 is a Elliptical/Spiral Galaxy in the Leo constellation. NGC 3384 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year.

2019年5月13日 · Also known as LEDA 32292 or UGC 5911, NGC 3384 has many of the features characteristic of elliptical galaxies. Such galaxies glow diffusely, are rounded in shape, display few visible features, and rarely show signs of recent star formation. Instead, they are dominated by ancient red-hued stars.
