NGC 7735 is an elliptical galaxy in Pegasus, 394 million light-years away
NGC 7735 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Pegasus , 394 million light-years away. It shines at magnitude 14.0 and spans 1.4′ × 1.1′ of sky, about 159,200 light-years across. It is faint: a 10-inch or larger telescope, or a camera, and it is highest in the evening sky in November.
Galaxy: a system of billions of stars, gas and dust held together by gravity, far outside the Milky Way. Spiral galaxies have a disk with arms; elliptical galaxies are smooth, round or oval swarms of older stars.
