NGC 7599

galaxy

NGC 7599 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Grus. The galaxy lies about 65 million light years away from Earth based on redshift independent methods, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 7599 is approximately 95,000 light years across. It was discovered by James Dunlop on July 14, 1826. It was also discovered by Lewis Swift on 8 August 1897 and thus listed as IC 5308.
