Sobre C29
Descrição
NGC 5005 is a spiral galaxy in Canes Venatici, about 65 million light-years away. It has a bright, active nucleus classified as a LINER (Low-Ionization Nuclear Emission-line Region) and prominent dust lanes visible in photographs.
Dicas de Observação
Visible as a moderately bright, elongated glow in a 6-inch telescope with a brighter core. Forms a nice pair with NGC 5033 about half a degree to the southeast. Best in spring evenings.
História
Discovered by William Herschel on May 1, 1785. The galaxy has been studied for its mildly active nucleus and its interaction with nearby galaxies.
Curiosidades
NGC 5005 and neighboring NGC 5033 may be gravitationally interacting despite their apparent separation, based on distortions in their outer hydrogen gas distributions.
