GR 8 (galaxy)

GR 8 (also known as UGC 8091) is a gas-rich dwarf irregular galaxy.
In 1995, Tolstoy et al. estimated its distance (with the Hipparcos correction of 1997 applied) to be approximately from Earth. It is still an open question as to whether or not it is a member of the Local Group. It was discovered at the Lick Observatory using the 20-inch astrograph in either 1946, 1947, or 1951.
