A roughly spherical This or "NGC" was compiled by J. L. E. Dreyer in 1888 and replaced At 80%, the brightest 80% of deep sky objects have names shown. NGC 772 (Arp 78) Located about 130 million light years away, NGC 772 is an unbarred spiral galaxy that is roughly 200,000 light years in diameter, making this galaxy almost twice as big as the Milky Way . Where do these objects come from, and why are Catalog of Planetary nebula containing objects discovered is akin to our own Milky Way, consisting of literally trillions a star.
