NGC 525

NGC 525 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Pisces. It is estimated to be approximately 275 million light-years away from Earth. Lenticular galaxies are intermediate between elliptical and spiral galaxies, possessing a disk shape but lacking prominent spiral arms. They are classified as S0 galaxies.

While NGC 525 may not exhibit active star formation currently, its morphology suggests it underwent a phase of more intense star formation in the past. It is a member of the Pisces Cluster (also known as the Abell 262 cluster), a large group of galaxies bound together by gravity.

Observations of NGC 525 often contribute to the study of galaxy evolution and the dynamics of galaxy clusters. Its location within the Pisces Cluster provides valuable data for understanding the interactions between galaxies in a dense environment. Information about its redshift, distance, and luminosity can be found in astronomical databases.
