NGC 5479 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Ursa Major. It is approximately 70 million light-years away from Earth and is part of the M81 Group, which includes several other galaxies. NGC 5479 has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years and is characterized by its distinct spiral arms and a central bar structure. Discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in 1788, NGC 5479 is notable for its bright core and active star formation regions. Observations of this galaxy contribute to our understanding of galaxy evolution and the dynamics of spiral structures in the universe.
