NGC 5592 is a 12.7 likes bright barred spiral galaxy with pronounced emission lines from the Hubble type SBBC in the constellation of Hydra and approximately 188 million light-years from the Milky Way center.
It was discovered on May 5, 1793 by Wilhelm Herschel with an 18.7-inch reflector telescope, who described it as "eF, S, resolvable, verified with 300 power". On March 30, 1835, John Herschel noted “pF, E, gvlbM, 25 arcseconds” while observing with an 18-inch reflector telescope.
