NGC 7130 (also known as IC 5135) is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Piscis Austrinus. It is located at a distance of about 220 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 7130 is about 100,000 light years across.[1] It was discovered by John Herschel on September 25, 1834, and discovered independently by Lewis Swift on September 17, 1897.[2] The location of the galaxy given in the New General Catalogue was off by 30 arcminutes in declination from the location of the galaxy.[3]
