NGC 7001 is an intermediate spiral galaxy [3] located about 300 million light-years away [3] in the constellation Aquarius. [4] NGC 7001 has an estimated diameter of 123,000 light-years. [3] It was discovered by English astronomer John Herschel on July 21, 1827, and was also observed by Austrian astronomer Rudolf Spitaler on September 26, 1891. [5]
