NGC 517, also occasionally referred to as PGC 5214 or UGC 960, is a lenticular

galaxy located approximately 188 million light-years from the Solar System[4] in the
constellation Pisces.[2] It was discovered on 13 September 1784
by astronomer William Herschel.[5]

Observation history[edit]
Herschel discovered the object along with NGC 515 using Beta Andromedae as a
reference star. He described his discovery as "two, both stellar", indicating his
misidentification of the object as a star. While Herschel only noted one position about
35" east of NGC 515, Heinrich d'Arrest made the first accurate measurement of the
object, using observation data of three separate nights. [6] The object was also
observed by John Herschel, son of William Herschel and later catalogued by John
Louis Emil Dreyer in the New General Catalogue, where the galaxy was described as
"pretty faint, round, stellar, southeastern of 2" with the other one being NGC 515. [5]

Description[edit]
The galaxy has an apparent visual magnitude of 12.5 and can be classified as type
S0 using the Hubble Sequence.[2] The object's distance of roughly 190 million light-
years from the Solar System can be estimated using its redshift and Hubble's law.[4]
