NGC 5235 is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation of Virgo. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 6871 ± 23 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 101.34 ± 7.10 Mpc (~330 million light-years).[1] It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 13 April 1784.[2]
In the same area of the sky are the galaxies NGC 5210, NGC 5224, and NGC 5239, among others.
One supernova has been observed in NGC 5235: SN 2024grb (Type Ia, mag. 18.333) was discovered by ATLAS on 16 April 2024.[3]
