NGC 1199

NGC 1199 is an elliptical galaxy approximately 107 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Eridanus.[1] It was discovered by William Herschel on December 30, 1785.[3]

NGC 1199 is dominated by stellar light with little long wavelength emission.[4]

Together with NGC 1189, NGC 1190, NGC 1191 and NGC 1192 it forms Hickson Compact Group 22 (HCG 22) galaxy group.[5] Although they are considered members of this group, NGC 1191 and NGC 1192 are in fact background objects, since they are much further away compared to the other members of this group.[4]

gollark: So either launch it from just a railgun or something, and have some way to decelerate it enough that it doesn't wreck the parcel on landing, or have it land sensibly and either fly back or get mailed back.
gollark: You would probably want to make the ballistic package delivery stuff somewhat reusable.
gollark: Actually, I had better check, honestly.
gollark: Amazon doesn't sell nuclear weapons yet, so it's fine.
gollark: For when you need something really soon and don't care about the cost ~~or collateral damage~~.
