NGC 2336
NGC 2336 è una galassia a spirale barrata nella costellazione della Giraffa. Si trova a circa 100 milioni di anni luce dalla Terra: considerando le sue dimensioni apparenti di 7.1’ x 3.9’ (la Luna ha un diametro apparente di 30’), questo significa che ha una diametro reale di circa 200.000 anni luce, il doppio della nostra galassia (la Via Lattea).
NGC 2336 venne scoperta solo nel 1876.

----------
NGC 2336 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Camelopardalis. It is located at a distance of about 100 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions of 7.1’x3.9’, means that NGC 2336 is about 200,000 light years across, the double of our galaxy Milky Way.
It was discovered by Wilhelm Tempel in 1876.
