From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NGC 7513 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Sculptor. It is located at a distance of circa 62.5 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 7513 is about 75,000 light years across.[1] It was discovered by Albert Marth on September 24, 1864.[2]
