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]

Discovery

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.
