NGC-4095

NGC 4095 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 1,732.6 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Capricornus. Its coordinates in the sky are right ascension 353.717° and declination 26.304°, and it is catalogued in the New General Catalogue (NGC).

The light reaching Earth from NGC 4095 today left the galaxy roughly 1,732.6 million years ago. What you see in telescope imagery is a snapshot of the galaxy as it appeared before most of Earth’s mammalian history.

Through the Galactic Registry, you can symbolically dedicate NGC 4095 in a name, memory, or message of your choosing. Your dedication is filed permanently in our public registry and printed on an archival 12″×18″ cotton-stock certificate, shipped worldwide. This is not an official IAU renaming — only the International Astronomical Union can officially name celestial bodies — but it is a permanent symbolic act tied to a galaxy that demonstrably exists, can be pointed at from any observatory on Earth, and has been imaged by NASA, ESA, or a ground-based telescope.
