Encyclopedic overview

NGC 2320 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation of Lynx. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 6,020±16 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 289.6 ± 20.3 Mly (88.80 ± 6.22 Mpc). However, 14 non-redshift measurements give a closer mean distance of 278.44 ± 19.72 Mly (85.371 ± 6.045 Mpc). It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 28 December 1790.

NGC 2320 is a radio galaxy, i.e. it has giant regions of radio emission extending well beyond its visible structure.
