Diphda and the Spiral Galaxy PGC 2526
Beta Ceti bares the name Diphda, originally from the Arabic for Frog, from the phrase ضفدع الثاني (second frog), it's a K0III type star (some refer it as a G9 type, as it straddles the boundaries between the two), and the III indicates it's a giant star, having originally been a B or A type star that's burned through it's hydrogen and ended it's main sequence period.
As for PGC 2526, there wasn't much out there to go on, I personally love a galactic sized mystery, when you consider it probably holds billions of stars. What we do know is the Galaxy is likely an edge on type SC galaxy, similar to these two.

The only image I could find was the zoomed in one provided by Stellarium and the catalogue Simbad.
It's fascinating to look at this blurry image and think our own Milky Way may be an uncharted side on smudge to another civilization out there, in fact, in that smudge alone could be thousands of civilizations that don't even know each other exists, and never will.
