NGC 47 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus, discovered in 1886 by Ernst Wilhelm Leberecht Tempel. Its alternate name NGC 58 is due to the observation by Lewis Swift, who was unaware that Tempel had already discovered the celestial object earlier. It appears as a small, faint spiral nebula with a bright core and is slightly oval.
NGC 1042 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cetus. The galaxy has an apparent magnitude of 14.0.
NGC 145, also known as Arp 19, is a barred spiral galaxy in Cetus, notable for its three spiral arms.
NGC 166 is a spiral galaxy located around 2.6 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus, with an apparent magnitude of 15.18. It was discovered by Francis Preserved Leavenworth in 1886.
NGC 171 is a barred spiral galaxy with an apparent magnitude of 12, located around 3 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus. The galaxy has two main medium-wound arms, with a few minor arms, and a fairly bright nucleus and bulge. It was discovered on 20 October 1784 by William Herschel. It is also known as NGC 175.
NGC 298 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 27, 1864, by Albert Marth. NGC 298 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year. Given its B magnitude of 14.7, NGC 298 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 20 inches or more.
NGC 487 is a barred spiral galaxy located about 250 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Cetus. NGC 487's calculated velocity is 5949 km/s. NGC 487 was discovered by American astronomer Francis Leavenworth on November 28, 1885.
NGC 480 is a spiral galaxy located about 546 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Cetus. NGC 480 was discovered by American astronomer Francis Leavenworth In 1886.
NGC 493, also occasionally referred to as PGC 4979 or GC 281, is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It is located approximately 90 million light-years from Earth and was discovered on December 20, 1786 by astronomer William Herschel. It was later also observed by his son, John Herschel. John Dreyer, creator of the New General Catalogue, described the galaxy as "very faint, large, much extended 60°" with "a little brighter middle".
NGC 4498 is a barred spiral galaxy located about 50 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. NGC 4498 was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on March 21, 1784. NGC 4498 is a member of the Virgo Cluster.
NGC 497 is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 336 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Cetus. It was discovered by French astronomer Édouard Stephan on November 6, 1882.
NGC 725 is a spiral galaxy approximately 450 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Cetus. It was discovered by Francis Preserved Leavenworth on November 9, 1885 with the 26" refractor at the Leander McCormick Observatory.
NGC 806 is a spiral galaxy approximately 166 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered by American astronomer Lewis A. Swift on November 1, 1886 with the 16" refractor at Warner Observatory.
NGC 965 is a spiral galaxy approximately 294 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Cetus. It was discovered by American astronomer Ormond Stone in 1886 with the 26" refractor at Leander McCormick Observatory.
NGC 1019 is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 316 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Cetus. It was discovered by French astronomer Édouard Stephan on December 1, 1880 with the 31" reflecting telescope at the Marseille Observatory.
NGC 521, also occasionally referred to as PGC 5190 or UGC 962, is a barred spiral galaxy located approximately 224 million light-years from the Solar System in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on 8 October 1785 by astronomer William Herschel.
NGC 811 is an object in the New General Catalogue. It is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Cetus about 700 million light-years from the Milky Way. It was discovered by the American astronomer Francis Leavenworth in 1886. However, it is usually misidentified as a different object, the spiral galaxy PGC 7905.
NGC 998 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It is estimated to be 294 million light years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of approximately 90,000 ly. Together with NGC 997, it forms a gravitationally bound pair of galaxies. NGC 998 was discovered by astronomer Albert Marth on 10 November 1863 using a 48-inch telescope.
NGC 991 is an intermediate spiral galaxy the constellation Cetus. This galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel in 1785.
NGC 767 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cetus about 241 million light years from the Milky Way. It was discovered by the American astronomer Francis Leavenworth in 1886.
