NGC 950 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It is approximately 205 million light-years[3] away from the Solar System and has a diameter of about 85,000 light-years. The object was discovered in 1886 by American astronomer and mathematician Ormond Stone.[5]
NGC 950 is part of a galaxy group known as NGC 945 Group or LGG 63. It has at least 7 members, which are NGC 950, NGC 945, NGC 948, NGC 977, MCG 2-7-32, MCG 2-7-20 and MCG 3-7-33.[6]
