'''NGC 5626''' is a [[lenticular galaxy]] in the [[constellation]] of [[Hydra_(constellation)|Hydra]]. Its velocity with respect to the [[cosmic microwave background]] is 7,120 ± 20{{nbsp}}km/s, which corresponds to a [[Hubble%27s_law|Hubble distance]] of 105.0 ± 7.4{{nbsp}}[[Megaparsec|Mpc]] (~342{{nbsp}}million [[light-years]]). It was discovered by British astronomer [[John Herschel]] on 30 March 1835.<ref name="selig">{{cite web | url = https://cseligman.com/text/atlas/ngc56.htm#5626 | title = New General Catalogue Objects: NGC{{nbsp}}5626 | last = Seligman | first = Courtney | website = Celestial Atlas | access-date = 12 December 2024}}</ref>
