NGC 7317 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Pegasus. It is part of the Stephan's Quintet, a group of five galaxies that are interacting with each other. NGC 7317 is approximately 300 million light-years away from Earth and has a diameter of about 50,000 light-years. This galaxy is notable for its bright core and well-defined spiral arms, which are characteristic features of barred spiral galaxies. Observations of NGC 7317 help astronomers understand galaxy formation and evolution, particularly in the context of galactic interactions within groups like Stephan's Quintet.
