NGC 187
NGC 187 is a barred spiral galaxy located around 3.2 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus, although it can refer to our Milky Way. This galaxy has a stretching bond of clouds in which there's a possibility for stars to be born for as long as that is possible. It was discovered in 1893 by William Herschel.
