NGC 2315 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation of Lynx. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 6,369±60 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 306.4 ± 21.8 Mly (93.94 ± 6.69 Mpc). It was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel on 16 February 1831.
NGC 2315 is a radio galaxy, i.e. it has giant regions of radio emission extending well beyond its visible structure. It also has a possible active galactic nucleus, i.e. it has a compact region at the center of a galaxy that emits a significant amount of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that this luminosity is not produced by the stars.
