NGC 47 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus, discovered in 1886 by Ernst Wilhelm Leberecht Tempel. Its alternate name NGC 58 is due to the observation by Lewis Swift, who was unaware that Tempel had already discovered the object earlier. It appears as a small, faint spiral nebula with a bright core and is slightly oval.
