NGC 150 (also known as PGC 2052) is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. It is about 70 million light years away from the Solar System, and it has a diameter of about 55,000 light years.[4] It was discovered on 20 November 1886, by Lewis A. Swift.[5] The Type II supernova SN 1990K was detected in NGC 150, and was reported to be similar to SN 1987A.[6]
