It is about 15.9 million light-years away and measures 5.9 arcminutes by 2.4. Whether it belongs to the M81 group is still debated, but its fairly irregular shape makes it akin to the disturbed galaxies of that group. In the photo, seen at an angle, it shows a mottled centre and a paler halo all around.
