NGC 5674
NGC 5674 is a intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation of Virgo. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of. However, three non-redshift measurements give a much closer mean distance of. It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 12 May 1793.
NGC 5674 is a Seyfert II galaxy, i.e. it has a quasar-like nucleus with very high surface brightnesses whose spectra reveal strong, high-ionisation emission lines, but unlike quasars, the host galaxy is clearly detectable.
According to Abraham Mahtessian, NGC 5674 and NGC 5652 form a pair of galaxies.
