NGC 7258 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 98 million light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in 1787. This galaxy is part of the Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic Database and is classified as a type Sc spiral galaxy, characterized by its well-defined spiral arms. The galaxy has an apparent magnitude of about 12.5, making it faint but observable with moderate-sized telescopes. NGC 7258 is also notable for its active star formation, which contributes to its bright, blue regions. Its distance and characteristics make it an interesting subject for astronomers studying galaxy formation and evolution.
