NGC 5750 is a lenticular galaxy in Virgo, 117 million light-years away
NGC 5750 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Virgo , 117 million light-years away. It shines at magnitude 11.6 and spans 2.7′ × 1.4′ of sky, about 90,200 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.
