Messier 102 is a galaxy listed in the Messier Catalogue that cannot be unambiguously identified. Its original discoverer Pierre Méchain retracted his discovery two years after publication and said that it was a duplicate observation of Messier 101. Later historical evidence favors that M102 is actually the galaxy NGC 5866, although other galaxies have been suggested as possible identities. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) considers it to be the same as NGC 5866.

NGC 2438 is a planetary nebula in the southern constellation of Puppis. Parallax measurements by Gaia put the central star at a distance of roughly 1,370 light years. It was discovered by William Herschel on March 19, 1786. NGC 2438 appears to lie within the cluster M46, but it is most likely unrelated since it does not share the cluster's radial velocity.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">NGC 5334</span> Spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo

NGC 5334 is a face-on barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1668 ± 20 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 80.2 ± 5.7 Mly (24.60 ± 1.75 Mpc). However, five non-redshift measurements give a distance of 108.68 ± 7.45 Mly (33.320 ± 2.283 Mpc). It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 15 April 1787. It was also observed by American astronomer Lewis Swift on 20 April 1897 and listed in the Index Catalogue as IC 4338.
