To date, 13 non-redshift measurements give a distance of 18.892 ± 6.377 Mpc (∼61.6 million light-years), which is outside the Hubble distance values. Since this galaxy is relatively close to the Local Group, it is likely that this value is closer to the true distance of NGC 2848. It is with the average value of independent measurements, when they exist, that the NASA/IPAC database calculates the diameter of a galaxy.[1]
Two supernovae have been observed in NGC 2848: SN 1994L (type II, mag. 14.7)[2] and SN 2023usp (type II, mag. 18.2).[3]
