NGC 5033 is an inclined spiral galaxy located in the constellation Canes Venatici. Distance estimates vary from between 38 and 60 million light years from the Milky Way. The galaxy has a very bright nucleus and a relatively faint disk. Significant warping is visible in the southern half of the disk. The galaxy's relatively large angular size and relatively high surface brightness make it an object that can be viewed and imaged by amateur astronomers. The galaxy's location relatively near Earth and its active galactic nucleus make it a commonly studied object for professional astronomers.
Three supernovae have been observed in NGC 5033: SN 1950C (type unknown, mag. 16.6),[3] SN 1985L (Type II, mag. 12.5),[4] and SN 2001gd (type IIb, mag. 16.5).[5]
