NGC 5364 is a grand design spiral galaxy located 54.5[2] million light years away in the constellation Virgo. This object was discovered by William Herschel on February 2, 1786, and later listed as NGC 5364. It was subsequently rediscovered by John Herschel on April 7, 1828, and later listed as NGC 5317. This image is almost like a mini Virgo Cluster; it has 6 small NGC galaxies, and possibly hundreds of PGC galaxies.
