NGC 262 (also known as Markarian 348) is the largest known spiral galaxy, [5] located in the constellation Andromeda. [1] It is a Seyfert 2 spiral galaxy located 287 million light years away. [2] It was discovered on 17 September 1885 by Lewis A. Swift. [4] According to A.M. Garcia, NGC 262 is a member of the NGC 315 Group (also known as LGG 14).
Nebula Maximum dimension (in light-years/parsecs) Type Notes NGC 262 Halo Cloud 1,300,000 ly (400,000 pc) [1] H I region: Spiral nebula surrounding NGC 262, which is one of the largest known galaxies. Leo Ring: 650,000 ly (200,000 pc) [2] HVC: A large ring of cold gas that formed from a collision of two galaxies. [3] Magellanic Stream
The cone's shape comes from a dark absorption nebula consisting of cold molecular hydrogen and dust in front of a faint emission nebula containing hydrogen ionized by S Monocerotis, the brightest star of NGC 2264. The faint nebula is approximately seven light-years long (with an apparent length of 10 arcminutes), and is 2,700 light-years from ...

The super star clusters are arranged in an ellipse around the center of NGC 253, which from the Earth's perspective appears as a flat line. [15] Star formation is also high in the northeast of NGC 253's disk, where a number of red supergiant stars can be found, and in its halo there are young stars as well as some amounts of neutral hydrogen.
NGC 2626 is a reflection nebula, emission nebula, and absorption nebula in the constellation Vela. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] It is mostly illuminated by B1 star CD-40 4432 and ionized by the O8 quadruple star system HD 73882 , together with other stars.
The molecular cloud is located about 1400 light-years away in the L1630 dark cloud, which is part of the Orion B molecular cloud in the constellation of Orion. [3] [4] The region contains multiple protostars (two class 0 and one class I) and four more evolved IRAS sources. The three protostars are driving the Herbig-Haro objects in this region. [3]
