Redshift data for Messier Galaxies


 * Also available in html: 

    http://www.seds.org/messier/xtra/supp/redshift.html

Given below is a table of radial velocities for the Messier galaxies, taken
from Nasa's Extragalactic Database (NED): 

    http://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/

Note that some of the galaxies from either the Local Group or the Virgo Cluster
have negative radial velocities (blueshifts instead of redshifts).
