C43 소개
설명
NGC 7814, known as the Little Sombrero Galaxy, is an edge-on spiral galaxy in Pegasus, about 40 million light-years away. Its prominent central bulge bisected by a thin dark dust lane gives it a miniature version of the famous Sombrero Galaxy (M104) appearance.
관측 팁
Visible as a small, bright, elongated glow in an 8-inch telescope with a notably bright nucleus. The dust lane requires 12 inches or more under good conditions. Best in autumn evenings at medium to high magnification.
역사
Discovered by William Herschel on November 8, 1784. Its visual similarity to M104 has earned it the nickname "Little Sombrero."
재미있는 사실
Despite its small angular size, NGC 7814 is intrinsically similar in size to the Milky Way. Its large, bright bulge suggests it may contain an older stellar population than our galaxy.
