NGC 6678 is a barred spiral galaxy located approximately 60 million light-years away in the constellation Hercules. It is part of the Virgo Supercluster and is notable for its bright core and well-defined spiral arms, which are characteristic features of spiral galaxies. Discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in 1784, NGC 6678 is classified as a type SBc galaxy. Its structure includes a central bar that extends through the nucleus, influencing the motion of stars and gas within the galaxy. Observations of NGC 6678 contribute to our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution.
