NGC 6285 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 80 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus. It is part of a group of galaxies known as the NGC 6285 group, which includes several other galaxies and is notable for its interactions and gravitational influences. This galaxy has a prominent central bulge and well-defined spiral arms, making it an interesting subject for astronomers studying galaxy formation and evolution. NGC 6285 is also classified as a Seyfert galaxy, indicating that it has an active nucleus that emits significant radiation, often due to the presence of a supermassive black hole at its center.
