NGC 3614 is an intermediate spiral galaxy located in the constellation Ursa Major. It is located at a distance of about 120 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 3614 is about 150,000 light years across. It was discovered by William Herschel on February 5, 1788.
