NGC 672 is a spiral galaxy in the northern constellation of Triangulum, positioned around 2° to the southwest of the star Alpha Trianguli. [10] The original object designated NGC 672 was discovered by the German-born astronomer William Herschel on 26 October 1786, but this was later cataloged as NGC 614.

The galaxy pair NGC 672 + IC 1727 is located in the constellation Triangulum, about 40 arc minutes northwest of the small open star cluster Collinder 21. On 23 October it is in opposition to the Sun and crosses the meridian at local midnight.

NGC 672 is a Galaxy in the Triangulum constellation. NGC 672 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere.

Visually NGC 672 should be an easy target in a 20cm telescope but IC 1727 is likely to require a 30cm aperture or greater and a good night to find because of its low surface brightness. Using larger apertures on NGC 672 may show some of the large star clusters and other detail in its bar.

Being only 88,000 light years apart - about the diameter of one of them - they interact extensively, even to the degree that they are encapsulated in a common envelope of shared gas and intermingling stars.

Apr 29, 2023 · This image shows the galaxy pair of NGC 672 and IC 1727. They are very similar distance estimates (both redshift and Tully Fisher estimates). Redshift distance estimates are 26 and 22 million light years (respectively); Tully-Fisher estimates are 23.5 and 22.4 million light years (respectively).

NGC 672 is the brighter of a close pair of galaxies in Triangulum about 7 degrees south east of M33, near the border with Pisces. The second galaxy is IC 1727. NGC 672 looks fairly normal for a spiral, however IC 1727 looks a little distorted, possibly due …

NGC 672 (on the left) and IC 1727 (on the right) are two interacting galaxies in Triangulum constellation: the interaction is visible in the neutral hydrogen radio band where a tidal bridge is observed between the galaxies.

Sep 9, 2023 · NGC672 & IC1727 is a pair of interacting galaxies in Triangulum at a distance of 23 mly. NGC672 is large of the pair and managed to keep it spiral structure, while IC1727 is more distorted and doesn't...
