NGC 5248 (also known as Caldwell 45) is a compact intermediate spiral galaxy about 59 million light-years away in the constellation Boötes. It is a member of the NGC 5248 Group of galaxies, itself one of the Virgo III Groups strung out to the east of the Virgo Supercluster of galaxies.[2] Distance measurements to NGC 5248 vary from 41.4 million light-years (12.7 Mpc) to 74.0 million light-years (22.7 Mpc), averaging about 58.7 million light-years (17.7 Mpc).[1]
