CGCG 471-11, IRAS 21278+2629, MCG 4-50-12, NPM1G +26.0474, PGC 66861, UGC 11756 [1] |
NGC 7080 is a barred spiral galaxy [2] located about 204.5 million light-years away [3] in the constellation of Vulpecula. [4] It has an estimated diameter of about 100,000 light-years which would make it similar in size to the Milky Way. [3] NGC 7080 was discovered by astronomer Albert Marth on September 6, 1863. [5]
According to Harold Corwin, NGC 7054 is a duplicate observation of NGC 7080. [6]
On December 5, 1998, supernova SN 1998ey ( type Ic-pec, mag.16.8) was discovered in NGC 7080. [7] [8]
