NGC 2110 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Orion. It is located at a distance of about 120 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 2110 is about 90,000 light years across.[1] It was discovered by William Herschel on October 5, 1785.[2] It is a Seyfert galaxy.[1]
