NGC 635 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Cetus about 626 million light years from the Milky Way. NGC 635 was discovered by the American astronomer Francis Leavenworth in 1885. [1] [2] It is also known as MCG-04-05-002 or PGC 6062, although in SIMBAD its New General Catalogue designation is not recognized. [3]
NGC 38 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered in 1881.
The NGC 5679 group, also known as Arp 274, is a triplet of galaxies, MCG+1-37-36, MCG+1-37-35 and MCG+1-37-34, spanning about 200000 light-years and at some 400 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo. Arp 247 refers to the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, compiled by Halton Arp in 1966. Galaxies 269 through 274 in his catalogue are galaxies that appear to have connected arms.
NGC 148 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Sculptor. It is about 40,000 light years across. It is in a group of three galaxies along with MCG-5-2-16 and IC 1555. It is a Shapley-Ames galaxy.
NGC 5002 is a Magellanic spiral galaxy in Canes Venatici. It was discovered by Heinrich d'Arrest in 1865. It is also known as MCG 6-29-51, PGC 45728, UGC 8254.
NGC 6975, also known as NGC 6976, is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Aquarius. The object was discovered on 12 July 1864 by the German astronomer Albert Marth.
NGC 2998 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Ursa Major. It is 195 million light-years away from the Earth. It is an intermediate spiral galaxy. Its stellar mass is about that of the Milky Way.
NGC 802 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Hydrus. It is about 68 million light-years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of about 20,000 light years. NGC 802 was discovered on November 2, 1834 by the British astronomer John Herschel.
NGC 3005 is an edge-on spiral galaxy in the constellation of Ursa Major, discovered by Bindon Stoney on January 25, 1851. It is a member of the NGC 2998 group, which also includes NGC 2998, NGC 3002, NGC 3006, NGC 3008, and a few others.
NGC 644 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Phoenix in the southern sky. It is estimated to be 270 million light-years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of approximately 130,000 light-years. Together with NGC 641, it probably forms a gravitationally bound pair of galaxies. The object was discovered on September 5, 1834 by John Herschel.
NGC 645 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It is estimated to be 112 million light-years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of approximately 115,000 light years. The object was discovered on October 27, 1864 by astronomer Albert Marth.
NGC 3006 is an edge-on spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It has an apparent magnitude of 15. It was discovered by the astronomer Bindon Stoney on January 25, 1851.
NGC 656 is a barred lenticular galaxy located in the Pisces constellation about 175 million light-years from the Milky Way. It was discovered by the Prussian astronomer Heinrich d'Arrest in 1865.
NGC 657 is an open cluster containing very few stars or a group of stars located in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel in 1831.
NGC 636 is an elliptical galaxy in the Cetus constellation. It is located about 96 million light-years from the Milky Way. It was discovered by the German–British astronomer William Herschel in 1785.

NGC 3008 is a lenticular galaxy with an active galactic nucleus in the constellation of Ursa Major, discovered by William Parsons and his assistants. It is about 40 thousand light years across, and with a recessional velocity of about 4,785 kilometers per second, is at a distance of 240 million light-years from the Sun.
NGC 5910 is an elliptical galaxy located about 540 million light-years away in the constellation Serpens. It was discovered by astronomer William Hershel on April 13, 1785. NGC 5910 is also a strong radio source with a conspicuous nuclear jet.
