NGC 47
NGC 47 is a barred [spiral galaxy] in the constellation Cetus, discovered in 1886 by Ernst [Wilhelm Leberecht Tempel]. Its alternate name NGC 58 is due to the observation by Lewis Swift, who was unaware that Tempel had already discovered the celestial object earlier. It appears as a small, faint spiral nebula with a bright core and is slightly oval.
It is approximately 236 Mly from Earth, measured by way of a generic "redshift estimate".
