context_page_description: NGC 918 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Aries about 67 million light years from the Milky Way. It was discovered by John Herschel on Jan 11, 1831.
  The brightness class of NGC 918 is III and has a broad HI line. NGC 918 is also an active nucleus galaxy. Moreover, it is a galaxy of the field, that is to say, it does not belong to a cluster or group and is therefore gravitationally isolated.
  Many non-redshift measures give a distance of 19,115 ± 6,160 Mpc, which is within the distances calculated using the value shift.
