It is stated that the “spider galaxy” is located approximately 30 million light years away from our planet.
This galaxy has several different names in different catalogues. For example, it has the designation LEDA 31923 in the Lyon-Maddon Extragalactic Database, MCG+06-24-006 in the Catalog of Morphological Galaxies, and SDSS J104242.78+342657.3 in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
