NGC 3184 is a spiral galaxy approximately 40 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. It is oriented face on, with a small nucleus and long sprawling arms. This type Sbc galaxy has striking blue spiral arms, with many pink star forming regions. Two of the largest of these HII regions are named NGC 3180 and NGC 3181. The bright stars that highlight the arms were created in huge density waves that circle the center.
NGC 3184 houses a high abundance of heavy elements and (SN 1999gi) that was a magnitude 14 Type II supernova detected on December 9, 1999. Other supernovae in NGC 3184 include 1921B (mag 13.5), 1921C (mag 11) and 1937F (mag 13.5).
