NGC 6681 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Pavo. It is approximately 60 million light-years away from Earth and is part of the Southern Hemisphere sky. This galaxy is notable for its distinct bar structure, which is a common feature in many spiral galaxies. Discovered by the astronomer John Herschel in 1834, NGC 6681 has a visual magnitude of about 12.5, making it faintly visible through small telescopes. Its size and structure provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies, contributing to our understanding of cosmic dynamics.
