NGC 5477 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 20 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. It is part of the M101 Group, which includes several other galaxies, and is notable for its irregular structure and bright star-forming regions. This galaxy has an apparent magnitude of about 14.0, making it faint and challenging to observe without a telescope. NGC 5477 is also known for its interactions with nearby galaxies, which can influence its shape and star formation activity, contributing to our understanding of galaxy evolution.
