NGC 7240 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Pegasus. It is approximately 100 million light-years away from Earth and is part of the Hubble Space Telescope catalog. The 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 1831, NGC 7240 has a visual magnitude of around 13.5, making it faintly visible through larger telescopes. Its size and structure provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies in the universe.
