It is said that the cut hair of Berenice, Queen of Egypt, was offered to the altar to pray for the victory of her husband in the battle against Assyria.

There are about 2,000 galaxies up to magnitude 15.5, with a diameter of 6° and a distance of about 20 million light years. Its approximate position is 12h40m right ascension and +23° declination.
