NGC 5374

NGC 5374 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Virgo. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 4,612±19 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 221.9 ± 15.6 Mly (68.02 ± 4.77 Mpc). Additionally, seven non-redshift measurements give a similar mean distance of 224.16 ± 13.31 Mly (68.729 ± 4.081 Mpc). It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 12 May 1793.

NGC 5374 is a is a radio galaxy, i.e. it has giant regions of radio emission extending well beyond its visible structure.

According to A. M. Garcia, NGC 5374 is the namesake of a group of galaxies. The NGC 5374 group (also known as LGG 368) contains at least eight galaxies, including NGC 5382, NGC 5384, NGC 5386, NGC 5417, NGC 5418, NGC 5434, and UGC 8906.
