It is estimated to be 200 million light-years from the Milky Way and about 135,000 light-years in diameter.[2] Together with NGC 948, it forms a gravitationally bound pair of galaxies. In the same area of the sky there are, among other things: the galaxies NGC 942, NGC 943, NGC 950, IC 230. The Type Ib supernova SN 1998dt was observed here. The object was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on November 28, 1785. It is within close proximity to NGC 948.
