NGC 3524 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation of Leo. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1709 ± 25 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 25.21 ± 1.80 Mpc (∼82.2 million light-years). It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 11 March 1784.
One supernova has been observed in NGC 3524: SN 2024inv (type Ia, mag. 18.3072) was discovered by Automatic Learning for the Rapid Classification of Events (ALeRCE) on 10 May 2024. This supernova got as bright as magnitude 12.1, making it the second-brightest observed in the year 2024.
