NGC 5953 is a peculiar spiral galaxy in the constellation Serpens. The galaxy lies about 80 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 5953 is approximately 35,000 light years across.[1] It was discovered by William Herschel on April 17, 1784.[2] NGC 5953 interacts with NGC 5954 forming a pair known as Arp 91.[3]
