It is estimated to be 147 million light years from the Milky Way and about 85,000 light years across . Presumably it forms a gravitationally bound galaxy pair together with NGC 6490 . In the same area of the sky are u. a. the galaxies NGC 6500 and NGC 6501 .
The Type Ia supernova SN 1998bp was observed here.
The object was discovered by Albert Marth on May 11, 1864 .
