NGC 6941 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 40 million light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. It was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in 1788 and is classified as a type of SAB galaxy, indicating a mix of spiral and barred features. This galaxy has an apparent magnitude of about 12.5, making it faint but observable with moderate-sized telescopes. NGC 6941 is notable for its well-defined spiral arms and active star formation regions, which contribute to its bright, blue appearance in images taken by telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope.
