NGC 6970
NGC 6970 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Indus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of. However, four non-redshift measurements give a much closer mean distance of. It was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel on 2 October 1834.
NGC 6970 is 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.
