NGC 524 Lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces

NGC 524 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It is at a distance of about 90 million light-years away from Earth. In the central bulge of the galaxy is visible gas forming a spiral structure. It is the largest galaxy in a small galaxy group, the NGC 524 group, which is associated with NGC 488 and its group. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1786. Two supernovae have been observed in the galaxy, SN 2000cx, a type Ia-p peaking at 14.5 magnitude, and SN 2008Q, type Ia.
