Column 1: The most common name of the galaxy.
Column 2: The galactic longitude of the galaxy.
Column 3: The galactic latitude of the galaxy.
Column 4: The distance to the galaxy in thousands of light years together with
the approximate error in the distance.
Column 5: The diameter of the galaxy in thousands of light years. For dwarf
galaxies this is only very approximate.
Column 6: The standard classification of the galaxy.
Column 7: Alternative catalogue name for the galaxy.
Column 8: Year the galaxy was discovered.
