NGC 1398 is an isolated barred spiral galaxy exhibiting a double ring structure. It is located 65 million light years from the Earth, in the constellation of Fornax. [2] [3] The galaxy, with a diameter of 135,000 light years, is bigger than the Milky Way. Over 100 billion stars are in the galaxy. [4]
It is the largest known spiral galaxy with the isophotal diameter of over 717,000 light-years (220 kiloparsecs). [ 1 ] This is a list of largest galaxies known, sorted by order of increasing major axis diameters.
Messier 74 (also known as NGC 628 and Phantom Galaxy) is a large spiral galaxy in the equatorial constellation Pisces. [ a ] It is about 32 million light-years away from Earth. [ 6 ] The galaxy contains two clearly defined spiral arms and is therefore used as an archetypal example of a grand design spiral galaxy . [ 7 ]
NGC 38 (also known by the designations MCG-1-1-47 or PGC 818) is a spiral galaxy [2] in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered on 30 September 1867 by Édouard Stephan . [ 4 ]
UGC 12158 or PGC 69533 is an Sb-type barred spiral galaxy located approximately 384,000,000 ly (118 Mpc) away from Earth in the constellation of Pegasus.Its tight spiral disk spans approximately 140,000 ly (40 kpc), whose scale at heliocentric distance is about 36.9 kiloparsecs per arcminute. [2]
NGC 1163 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Perseus. It is situated approximately 205 million light-years away from Earth and has an apparent magnitude of 13.5. It is situated approximately 205 million light-years away from Earth and has an apparent magnitude of 13.5.
NGC 1086 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Perseus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 3848 ± 14 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 56.76 ± 3.98 Mpc (∼185 million light-years). [1] It was discovered by American astronomer Lewis Swift on 20 August 1885. [2]
UGC 3478 is a spiral galaxy, located in the constellation of Camelopardalis. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Is is located at 128 million light-years from Earth. [ 5 ] It features a growing supermassive black hole (AGN) at its center.
