The New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars is a well-known catalogue of deep sky objects in astronomy. It contains 7,840 objects, known as the NGC objects...

(NGC). The astronomical catalogue is lists mainly star cluster

Star cluster

Star clusters or star clouds are groups of stars. Two types of star clusters can be distinguished: globular clusters are tight groups of hundreds of thousands of very old stars which are gravitationally bound, while open clusters, more loosely clustered groups of stars, generally contain less than...

7714 NGC 7714 NGC 7714 spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered by John Herschel on 18 September 1830.NGC 7714 and NGC 7715 are interacting galaxies. The pair are also known as Arp 284. NGC 7714 appears to be a highly distorted spiral, possibly a barred spiral galaxy...	Spiral galaxy Spiral galaxy A spiral galaxy is a certain kind of galaxy originally described by Edwin Hubble in his 1936 work The Realm of the Nebulae and, as such, forms part of the Hubble sequence.

7742 NGC 7742 NGC 7742 is a face-on unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus.The galaxy is unusual in that it contains a ring but no bar. Typically, bars are needed to produce a ring structure. The bars' gravitational forces move gas to the ends of the bars, where it forms into the rings seen in...
