NGC 1272 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Perseus. It is part of the Perseus Cluster, which is a group of galaxies that are gravitationally bound together. NGC 1272 is approximately 250 million light-years away from Earth and has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years. This galaxy is notable for its bright core and well-defined spiral arms, which are characteristic features of spiral galaxies. NGC 1272 is also classified as a type of SAB, indicating that it has a weakly barred structure. Its study helps astronomers understand galaxy formation and evolution within clusters.
