NGC 820 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Aries about 210 million light-years from the Milky Way. [3] It was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel in 1828. [4] [5] [6] [7]
NGC 514 is a low-luminosity, intermediate spiral galaxy in the equatorial constellation of Pisces, located at a distance of approximately 83 million light-years from the Milky Way. It was discovered on 16 October 1784 by astronomer William Herschel. The general form of the galaxy is specified by its morphological classification of SAB(rs)c, which indicates it has a weak bar system at the core (SAB), an incomplete ring formation around the bar (rs), and somewhat loosely-wound spiral arms (c). This galaxy has an H II nucleus with an extended region that displays weak emission lines in the optical range, but not in the near infrared. The suspected supermassive black hole at the core has an estimated mass of 3.2×106 M☉.
NGC 770 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Aries. It is around 120 million light years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of around 36,000 ly. NGC 770 is gravitationally linked to NGC 772. The galaxy was discovered on November 3, 1855 by RJ Mitchell.
NGC 801 is a spiral galaxy with an active galaxy core in the constellation Andromeda. It is estimated to be 174 million light-years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of approximately 174,400 light-years. The object was discovered on September 20, 1885 by the American astronomer Lewis A. Swift.
