NGC 7331 is the brightest galaxy in the field of a visual grouping known as the NGC 7331 Group of galaxies. In fact, the other members of the group, NGC 7335 , NGC 7336 , NGC 7337 and NGC 7340 , lie far in the background at distances of approximately 300–350 million light years.

Oct 28, 2023 · NGC 7331 (Caldwell 30) is an unbarred spiral galaxy located 39.8 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus. With an apparent magnitude of 10.4, it can be seen in small telescopes. It is the brightest galaxy in the NGC 7331 Group.

About 50 million light-years distant in the northern constellation Pegasus, NGC 7331 was recognized early on as a spiral nebula and is actually one of the brighter galaxies not included in Charles Messier's famous 18th century catalog.

NGC 7331 Group is a visual grouping of galaxies in the constellation Pegasus. Spiral galaxy NGC 7331 is a foreground galaxy in the same field as the collection, which is also called the Deer Lick Group. [1]

Oct 5, 2022 · NGC 7331 is a superb spiral galaxy lying in northern Pegasus, one of the brightest visible in the autumn sky, which can be found in apertures as small as 60–80mm (~three inches). It is a fine sight through a moderate-aperture telescope, looking like a miniature version of mighty Messier 31 in Andromeda, and makes an irresistible imaging ...

Mar 21, 2022 · From a dark observing site, most observers can spot NGC 7331 through 50mm or larger binoculars. An 11-inch telescope and a magnification of 200x will reveal a bright core surrounded by a soft...

Feb 2, 2018 · This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows a spiral galaxy known as NGC 7331. First spotted by the prolific galaxy hunter William Herschel in 1784, NGC 7331 is located about 45 million light-years away in the constellation of Pegasus (the Winged Horse).

Aug 23, 2024 · Head to a dark sky to see this galaxy's sweeping spiral arms in larger telescopes. The majestic spiral galaxy Caldwell 30, also cataloged as NGC 7331, is often touted as an analog to our own Milky Way, as its size, shape, and mass are similar to our galaxy’s.

Located about 4.5° northwest of Eta Pegasi, near the border of Lacerta, NGC 7331 was discovered in 1784 by William Herschel, and was one of the brightest galaxies overlooked by Messier in his catalog. It appears nearly edge on, tilted at an inclination of 77°.

Mar 1, 2014 · About 50 million light-years distant in the northern constellation Pegasus, NGC 7331 was recognized early on as a spiral nebula and is actually one of the brighter galaxies not included in Charles Messier's famous 18th century catalog.
