NGC 1 and NGC 2 as an optical double. At an estimated 140,000 light-years in diameter, [4] NGC 1 is roughly the same size as our galaxy, the Milky Way, which is believed to be approximately 160,000 light-years across. [6]
The New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (abbreviated NGC) is an astronomical catalogue of deep-sky objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888. The NGC contains 7,840 objects, including galaxies, star clusters and emission nebulae.
This is a list of NGC objects 1–1000 from the New General Catalogue (NGC). The astronomical catalogue is composed mainly of star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies.Other objects in the catalogue can be found in the other subpages of the list of NGC objects.
Some objects originally thought to be deep sky objects and listed in the New General Catalogue have been subsequently shown to be ordinary stars, so their inclusion in the catalog is now considered erroneous.
The following is a list of NGC objects, that is objects listed in the New General Catalogue (NGC). It is one of the largest comprehensive astronomical catalogues for deep sky objects such as star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies.

NGC 2857 (also known as Arp 1 and PGC 26666) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major.It was discovered on January 9, 1856, by R. J. Mitchell. [1]NGC 2857 is the first object in Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, and one of six Arp objects in the 'Low Surface Brightness Galaxies' section.
