NGC 5078 is a spiral galaxy in the Hydra constellation, approximately 94 million light-years away from Earth.^[2] It has a diameter of 127,000 light-years and is probably a member of the NGC 5061 group.^[3] The dust lane of NGC 5078 is warped, probably by interaction with the nearby galaxy IC 879, which is itself distorted into an 'S' shape by the interaction.^[4] At the presumed distance the two galaxies would have a minimal separation of about 61,000 light-years.^[3] For comparison, the Large Magellanic Cloud is about 160,000 light-years from the Milky Way.
