NGC 5529 is a mixed spiral galaxy in Bootes, 168 million light-years away
NGC 5529 is a mixed spiral galaxy in the constellation Bootes , 168 million light-years away. It shines at magnitude 11.9 and spans 5.8′ × 41″ of sky, about 283,500 light-years across. It is a telescope object, 6 inches or larger, and it is highest in the evening sky in June.
Galaxy: a system of billions of stars, gas and dust held together by gravity, far outside the Milky Way. Spiral galaxies have a disk with arms; elliptical galaxies are smooth, round or oval swarms of older stars.
