NGC 7154

galaxy

NGC 7154 is a peculiar barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Piscis Austrinus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 2,356±18 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 105.3 ± 7.5 Mly (32.3 ± 2.3 Mpc). However, eight non-redshift measurements give a closer mean distance of 89.29 ± 16.04 Mly (27.375 ± 4.918 Mpc). It was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel on 23 September 1834.
