PGC 6505 (= IC 159)
PGC 6626 (= Arp 4)
A 13th-magnitude irregular/spiral galaxy (type IAB(rs)m) in Cetus (RA 01 48 26, Dec -12 22 55)
Based on recessional velocity of 1615 km/sec, about 70 million light years away, in good agreement with a redshift-independent distance estimate of 65 million light years. Given that and apparent size of 2.4 by 2.3 arcmin, about 50 thousand light years across. |

Based on recessional velocity of 14300 km/sec, about 640 million light years away. Given that and apparent size of 0.6 by 0.4 arcmin, about 100 thousand light years across. |
