Object data of M53 |

| Object type: | Globular Cluster (V) | |
| Size: | 13' | |
| Magnitude: | 7.6mag | |
| Constellation: | Com | |
| Distance: | 58,000 Ly | |
| Notes: |
Messier 53 is a globular cluster in the Coma Berenices constellation. It is
one of the more outlying globular clusters, being about 60,000 light-years
away from the Galactic Center, and almost the same distance (about 58,000
light-years) from the Solar System. A tidal bridge-like structure appears to connect M53 with the close, very diffuse neighbor NGC 5053, as well as an envelope surrounding both clusters. |
