NGC 5026 is a barred spiral galaxy or lenticular galaxy in the constellation of Centaurus. [2] It was discovered on 5 June 1834 by John Herschel. [5] It was described as "pretty bright, pretty large, round, gradually brighter middle" by John Louis Emil Dreyer, the compiler of the New General Catalogue. [5]
