text:
NGC 2188 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Columba. It is located at a distance of circa 25 million light years from Earth, which means that the galaxy, given its apparent dimensions is about 50.000 light years long. It was discovered by John Herschel on January 9, 1836. NGC 2188 is a spiral galaxy seen edge-on from the viewpoint of Earth as the centre and spiral arms of the galaxy are tilted away from us, with only the very narrow outer edge of the galaxy's disc visible to us.
