IC 1682 is a large spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It is estimated to be 200 million light-years from the Milky Way and about 45,000 light-years in diameter. In the same area of the sky there are, among other things: the galaxies NGC 494, IC 1680, IC 1684, IC 1685. [1] The object was discovered on November 29, 1899, by Stéphane Javelle. [2] It has been extensively researched by NASA. [3]
The galaxy was discovered by accident on November 29, 1899, when astronomer Stéphane Javelle accidentally came across it while looking at a different astronomical body.
IC 10 is an irregular galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was discovered by Lewis Swift in 1887 and in 1935 Nicholas Mayall became the first to suggest that the object is extragalactic. Edwin Hubble suspected it might belong to the Local Group of galaxies, but its status remained uncertain for decades. The radial velocity of IC 10 was measured in 1962, and it was found to be approaching the Milky Way at approximately 350 km/s, strengthening the evidence for its membership in the Local Group. Its membership in the group was finally confirmed in 1996 by direct measurements of its distance based on observations of Cepheids; most estimates place the galaxy 2–3 million light years from Earth, with some estimates ranging from 1.5–4.5 million light years. Despite its closeness, the galaxy is rather difficult to study because it lies near the plane of the Milky Way and is therefore heavily obscured by interstellar matter.
IC 1337 is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Capricornus. The galaxy is located close to the celestial equator. It was discovered by Stéphane Javelle on July 22, 1892.
Arp 147 is an interacting pair of ring galaxies. It lies 430 million to 440 million light years away in the constellation Cetus and does not appear to be part of any significant galaxy group. The system was originally discovered in 1893 by Stephane Javelle and is listed in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies.
NGC 908 is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered in 1786 by William Herschel. This galaxy is 56 million light years away from Earth. It is the main galaxy in the NGC 908 group, which also includes NGC 899, NGC 907, and IC 223.
NGC 135 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation of Cetus and 335 million light-years away, and 40,000 light-years across.
NGC 4394 is a SBb barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices and is situated about 39.5 million light-years from Earth. It was discovered on 14 March 1784 by the German–British astronomer William Herschel. It is a presumed companion to the lenticular galaxy M85 / NGC 4382, which lies 8 arc minutes away. It is also a member of the Virgo Cluster.
IC 3 is a compact elliptical galaxy located approximately 228 million light-years away in the constellation of Pisces. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer Stéphane Javelle on August 27, 1892.
NGC 443 is a lenticular galaxy of type S0/(r)a? located in the constellation Pisces. It was first discovered on October 8, 1861 by Heinrich d'Arrest, and was also spotted on October 17, 1903 by Stéphane Javelle. It was described by Dreyer as "faint, small, round, 15th magnitude star 8 seconds of time to west on parallel ."
NGC 444 is a spiral galaxy of type Sd located in the constellation Pisces. It was first discovered on October 26, 1854 by R. J. Mitchell, and was also spotted on October 17, 1903 by Stéphane Javelle. It was described by Dreyer as "very faint, much extended 135°, a little brighter middle."
NGC 446 is a lenticular galaxy of type (R)SAB0^0 located in the constellation Pisces. It was first discovered on October 23, 1864, by Albert Marth ; it was also seen on August 20, 1892, by Stéphane Javelle. It was described by Dreyer as "faint, very small, stellar."
NGC 7302 is a lenticular galaxy located around 124 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Aquarius. NGC 7302 was discovered by British astronomer William Herschel on October 3, 1785 and was rediscovered by American astronomer Lewis Swift on August 8, 1896 and was listed in the IC catalogue as IC 5228. It is also part of a group of interacting galaxies.
NGC 7080 is a barred spiral galaxy located about 204.5 million light-years away in the constellation of Vulpecula. It has an estimated diameter of about 100,000 light-years which would make it similar in size to the Milky Way. NGC 7080 was discovered by astronomer Albert Marth on September 6, 1863.
NGC 4633 is a spiral galaxy located about 70 million light-years away in the constellation of Coma Berenices. It is interacting with the nearby galaxy NGC 4634. NGC 4633 was discovered by astronomer Edward D. Swift on April 27, 1887. It was rediscovered on November 23, 1900, by astronomer Arnold Schwassmann and was later listed as IC 3688. NGC 4633 is a member of the Virgo Cluster.
NGC 4482 is a dwarf elliptical galaxy located about 60 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. NGC 4482 was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on March 15, 1784. It was rediscovered by astronomer Arnold Schwassmann on September 6, 1900 and was listed as IC 3427. It is a member of the Virgo Cluster.
NGC 4497 is a lenticular galaxy located about 60 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. NGC 4497 was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on March 15, 1784. It was rediscovered by astronomer Arnold Schwassmann on November 8, 1900 and was listed as IC 3452. NGC 4497 is a member of the Virgo Cluster.
NGC 499, also occasionally referred to as PGC 5060, IC 1686 or GC 289, is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It is located approximately 197 million light-years from the Solar System and was discovered on 12 September, 1784 by astronomer William Herschel.

NGC 530, also known as IC 106, is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It is approximately 226 million light years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of around 100,000 light years. The object was discovered on November 20, 1886, by the American astronomer Lewis A. Swift, who listed it as NGC 530, and rediscovered on November 16, 1887, by Guillaume Bigourdan, who listed it as IC 106.
