NGC 1334

NGC 1334 is a spiral galaxy[2] located about 185 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Perseus.[3] It was discovered by astronomer Heinrich d'Arrest on February 14, 1863.[4] NGC 1334 is a member of the Perseus Cluster[5][6] and is a starburst galaxy. It also appears to have a complex distorted structure.[7]
