From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
6dFGS gJ050159.7−144314 is an unbarred spiral galaxy and an active galactic nucleus in the constellation Lepus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 13,338±45 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 625 Mly (191 Mpc). Its diameter is thought to be about 35,000 light-years, or roughly one-third in size compared to the Milky Way.[1][2][3]
