NGC 7013 is a relatively nearby spiral or lenticular galaxy[2][3] estimated to be around 37 to 41.4 million light-years away from Earth[4][5] in the constellation of Cygnus.[6] NGC 7013 was discovered by English astronomer William Herschel on July 17, 1784 and was also observed by his son, astronomer John Herschel on September 15, 1828.[7]
