NGC 7224 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Grus. It is approximately 50 million light-years away from Earth and is part of the Southern Hemisphere sky. This galaxy is notable for its distinct spiral arms and bright central bar structure, which are characteristic features of barred spiral galaxies. Discovered by astronomer John Herschel in 1834, NGC 7224 is classified as a type SBc galaxy. It has a diameter of about 70,000 light-years and contains a mix of young and old stars, along with regions of active star formation. Its unique structure and composition make it an interesting subject for astronomers studying galaxy formation and evolution.
