NGC 524 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It is at a distance of about 90 million light-years away from Earth. In the central bulge of the galaxy is visible gas forming a spiral structure. [2] It is the largest galaxy in the small NGC 524 group of galaxies, which is associated with NGC 488 and its group. [3]
