NGC 7241 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Phoenix. It was discovered by the astronomer John Herschel in 1834. This galaxy is approximately 50 million light-years away from Earth and has a visual magnitude of about 12.5, making it faint but observable with a telescope. The structure of NGC 7241 features a prominent central bar, which is characteristic of barred spiral galaxies. It is part of a group of galaxies and is often studied for its star formation activity and the dynamics of its spiral arms. Observations of NGC 7241 contribute to our understanding of galaxy evolution.
