NGC 5395

NGC 5395 is an interacting spiral galaxy located at a distance of 160 million light years, but receding away from the Earth at 3511 kilometers (2181.6 miles) per second, in the constellation Canes Venatici.

NGC 5395 and NGC 5394 are included in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as Arp 84 in the category "Spiral galaxies with large high surface brightness companions".

NGC 5394 has an oval disk, with a diameter of around 90 thousand light years across.

Most of the gas is concentrated at the center of the galaxy, however, two out of the three spiral arms show no sign of ongoing star formation.

It was discovered on June 25.90 and 25.94 (UTC) at magnitude 17.0 lying northeast of the nucleus.
