NGC 83 is an elliptical galaxy estimated to be about 260 million light-years away in the constellation of Andromeda. It was discovered by John Herschel in 1828 and its apparent magnitude is 14.2. [4]

One supernova has been observed in NGC 83: SN 2016eoa (type Ia, mag. 19.3) was discovered by POSS on 2 August 2016. [5] [6]
