NGC 37is alenticular galaxylocated in thePhoenixconstellation. It is approximately 42kiloparsecs(137,000light-years) in diameter and about 12.9billionyears old.[1]
It may have a companion galaxy calledPGC 95382.[2]Its redshift and radial velocity (z=0.03007 & V=8880 km/s) are really similar so it can be situated quite close to NGC 37.
