ESO 235-58
Epoch:	J2000

H Radial V:	4319.0 km/s^[2]
Type:	S^[3]

ESO 235-58 is a galaxy in the constellation of Indus.

Its exact nature is uncertain.^{[4] [5]} At first glance, it appears like a barred spiral galaxy seen face on. However, further examination has shown that what appears to be the bar is actually the main structure of an edge-on spiral galaxy, and the galaxy has structure like that of polar-ring galaxies.^{[3] [6]}
