NGC 127
NGC 127 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Cetus. It is approximately 70 million light-years away from Earth and is part of the Peculiar Galaxy class due to its unusual structure. NGC 127 is notable for its bright central bar and well-defined spiral arms, which are characteristic features of barred spiral galaxies.
Discovered by the astronomer John Herschel in 1834, NGC 127 has a visual magnitude of about 13.5, making it a faint object that requires a telescope to observe. Its distance and unique features make it an interesting subject for astronomers studying galaxy formation and evolution.
