NGC 6041 is a giant elliptical galaxy [2] located about 470 million light-years away [3] in the constellation Hercules. [4] NGC 6041 has an extended envelope that is distorted towards the galaxy pair Arp 122. [2] NGC 6041 is the brightest galaxy (BCG) in the Hercules Cluster. [5] [6] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer Édouard Stephan on June 27, 1870. [7]
