IC 3078 is a spiral galaxy with a ring structure^[1] located in Virgo. Its redshift is 0.066148,^[2] meaning IC 3078 is located 905 million light-years from Earth.^[3] With an apparent dimension of 0.50 x 0.5 arcmin, IC 3038 is about 133,000 light-years across.^[4] It was discovered by Royal Harwood Frost on May 7, 1904^[5]^[6] and is listed in the Virgo Cluster catalogue as VCC 174. However, it is not a member of the Virgo Cluster, but instead a background galaxy.^[7]
