Spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus
NGC 965 is a spiral galaxy approximately 294 million light-years away from Earth[1] in the constellation of Cetus.[1] It was discovered by American astronomer Ormond Stone in 1886 with the 26" refractor at Leander McCormick Observatory.[3]
Soviet/Russian astrophysicist Vorontsov-Velyaminov B. and Arhipova V. P. have noted in their "Morphological Catalogue of Galaxies" that NGC 965 "looks almost like two flattened galaxies i=I and i=III in contact and very disturbed".[4]
