NGC 5713 = NGC 5651 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo , which is about 82 million light years away from the Milky Way . NGC 5713 interacts with the neighboring galaxy NGC 5719 .

NGC 5713 was discovered on April 11, 1787 by the German-British astronomer Wilhelm Herschel . NGC 5651 goes back to the observation of George Bond on May 9, 1853, who mistakenly assumed the object (star) to be a galaxy. In 2015, Wolfgang Steinicke used Bond's notes to demonstrate that although he had observed NGC 5713 , he made a serious mistake in specifying the position.
