NGC 5364 Galaxy
NGC 5364 in Virgo
is a grand design spiral galaxy designated as a type SA(rs)bc. Located 54,000.000 light-years away from Earth, it was discovered by the great William Herschel in 1786. The edge-on, lenticular galaxy at 3 o'clock is NGC 5360, which is connected by a star bridge to its larger neighbor.
Both are members of the NGC 5364 Group, one of the Virgo III Groups, east of the Virgo Supercluster of galaxies.
Many thanks to Mike Selby for capture and preprocessing the data.
