    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_1024

    NGC 1024 is a large spiral galaxy of type Sab [1] located in the constellation Aries.Its speed relative to the cosmic microwave background is 3,306 ± 16 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 48.8 ± 3.4 Mpc (~159 million light-years). [2]

  3. NGC 5907 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_5907

    NGC 5907 has long been considered a prototypical example of a warped spiral in relative isolation. In 2006, an international team of astronomers announced the presence of an extended tidal stream surrounding the galaxy that challenges this picture and suggests the gravitational perturbations induced by the stream progenitor may be the cause for ...

    NGC 6744 (also known as Caldwell 101 or the Pavo Galaxy [3]) is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Pavo (Peacock). Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 802 ± 3 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 38.6 ± 2.7 Mly (11.82 ± 0.83 Mpc). [1]

  5. NGC 5965 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_5965

    NGC 5965 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Draco. It is located at a distance of circa 150 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 5965 is about 260,000 light years across. It was discovered by William Herschel on May 5, 1788. [3]

  6. NGC 4216 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_4216

    Seen nearly edge-on, NGC 4216 is one of the largest and brightest spiral galaxies of the Virgo Cluster, with an absolute magnitude that has been estimated to be −22 (i.e.: brighter than the Andromeda Galaxy), [4] and like most spiral galaxies of this cluster shows a deficiency of neutral hydrogen that is concentrated within the galaxy's optical disk and has a low surface density for a galaxy ...

  7. NGC 4535 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_4535

    NGC 4535 is a barred spiral galaxy located some 54 [3] million light years from Earth in the constellation Virgo. It is a member of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies and is located 4.3° from Messier 87. The galactic plane of NGC 4535 is inclined by an angle of 43° to the line of sight from the Earth. [4]

  8. NGC 2903 - Wikipedia

    Dreyer assigned it the identifiers 2903 and 2905 in his New General Catalogue; NGC 2905 now designates a luminous knot in the northeastern spiral arm. [ 11 ] This field galaxy [ 12 ] is located about 30 [ 3 ] million light-years away from the Milky Way , and is a member of the Virgo Supercluster . [ 4 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_6946

    Both were once considered to be part of the Local Group, [6] but are now known to be among the dozen bright spiral galaxies near the Milky Way but beyond the confines of the Local Group. [7] NGC 6946 lies within the Virgo Supercluster. [8] The galaxy was discovered by William Herschel on 9 September 1798.
