IC 1189 is a S0-a lenticular galaxy with a ring structure [1] located in Hercules. [2] [3] It is located 557 million light-years away from the Solar System and has an approximate diameter of 145,000 light-years. [4] IC 1189 was discovered on June 7, 1888, by Lewis Swift. [5] It is a member of the Hercules Cluster. [6] [7] [8]

IC 1189 has an active galactic nucleus and is classified as a starburst galaxy [4] meaning to say, it is a powerhouse star factory making stars at a rate hundred of times greater compared to the Milky Way. [9] Additionally, it falls into the Markarian galaxies category as Mrk 300, in which its core shines in ultraviolet rays. [10]

MCG +07-33-027 is an isolated spiral galaxy located about 330 million light-years away in the constellation Hercules. It has a very high rate of star formation which would make it a starburst galaxy. Normally, starburst galaxies are triggered by the collision of another galaxy. However most galaxies are in groups or clusters, while MCG +07-33-027 is solitary. Therefore, the cause of the starburst was not due to a collision or by the passing of a nearby galaxy and so the cause of the activity remains unknown.
