It is also important to consider the morphology of the galaxy when attempting to measure its size – an issue that has been raised by the Russian astrophysicist B.A. Vorontsov-Vel'Yaminov in 1961, which considers separate determination methods in measuring the sizes of spiral and elliptical galaxies.

UGC 3478 is a spiral galaxy, located in the constellation of Camelopardalis. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Is is located at 128 million light-years from Earth. [ 5 ] It features a growing supermassive black hole (AGN) at its center.
NGC 7496 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Grus.It is located at a distance of about 60 million light-years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that it is 75,000 light years across.
UGC 2885 (Rubin's Galaxy, [10] nicknamed "Godzilla galaxy" [11]) is a large barred spiral galaxy of type SA(rs)c in the constellation Perseus.It is 232 million light-years (71 Mpc) from Earth and measures 463,000 ly (142,000 pc) across, making it one of the largest known spiral galaxies.
UGC 12158 or PGC 69533 is an Sb-type barred spiral galaxy located approximately 384,000,000 ly (118 Mpc) away from Earth in the constellation of Pegasus.Its tight spiral disk spans approximately 140,000 ly (40 kpc), whose scale at heliocentric distance is about 36.9 kiloparsecs per arcminute. [2]
This is a list of NGC objects 1–1000 from the New General Catalogue (NGC). The astronomical catalogue is composed mainly of star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies.Other objects in the catalogue can be found in the other subpages of the list of NGC objects.
UGC 11861 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Cepheus.Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1334 ± 10 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 19.68 ± 1.39 Mpc (~64.2 million light-years). [1]
