NGC 874

NGC 874 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cetus. It is estimated to be approximately 430 million light-years away from Earth. The galaxy was discovered on November 18, 1886, by American astronomer Ormond Stone.

NGC 874 is classified as a Sc type spiral galaxy, indicating that it has loosely wound spiral arms and a relatively small central bulge. It is part of the galaxy cluster Abell 262.

Observations suggest that NGC 874 may be interacting with other galaxies in the Abell 262 cluster. This interaction could be influencing its morphology and star formation activity. Further research is ongoing to better understand the dynamics and evolution of NGC 874 within its cluster environment.
