NGC 405
NGC 405 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Cetus. It is approximately 70 million light-years away from Earth and is part of the Hubble Space Telescope observations. This galaxy is notable for its bright core and well-defined spiral arms, which are characteristic features of spiral galaxies.
Discovered by the astronomer John Herschel in 1834, NGC 405 is classified as a type Sc spiral galaxy. It is relatively small compared to other galaxies, with a diameter of about 50,000 light-years. Its study contributes to our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution in the universe.
