NGC 5905
NGC 5905 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Draco. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of. However, 14 non-redshift measurements give a much closer mean distance of. It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 5 May 1788.
NGC 5905 has an active galactic nucleus, i.e. it has a compact region at the center of a galaxy that emits a significant amount of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that this luminosity is not produced by the stars.
NGC 5905 is also a Seyfert I 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.
