NGC 7080 is a barred spiral galaxy [2] located about 204.5 million light-years away [3] in the constellation of Vulpecula. [4] It has an estimated diameter of about 100,000 light-years which would make it similar in size to the Milky Way. [3] NGC 7080 was discovered by astronomer Albert Marth on September 6, 1863. [5]
