UGC 6697 is a large irregular[1] spiral galaxy with a bar[2] located in the Leo constellation.[3] It is located 378 million light-years from the Solar System and has an estimated diameter of 205,000 light-years.[4] UGC 6697 is considered a starburst galaxy which produces high rates of star formation.[4][5] The first known reference to this galaxy comes from volume II of the Catalogue of Galaxies and of Clusters of Galaxies compiled by Fritz Zwicky in 1968, where it was listed as CGCG 097-087, and its coordinates listed as 1141.2 + 2015 (epoch B1950).[6]
