NGC 2683 is a field spiral galaxy in the northern constellation of Lynx.

It was nicknamed the "UFO Galaxy" by the Astronaut Memorial Planetarium and Observatory.

[3] The reddened light from the center of the galaxy appears yellowish due to the intervening gas and dust located within the outer arms of NGC 2683.

[7] Its apparent magnitude is 10.6 making it not visible to the human eye without the aid of a small telescope.

[12] NGC 2683 is rich in globular clusters, hosting about 300 of them, twice the number found in the Milky Way.
