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.

Observing NGC 187

This galaxy will be monitored by the astronomer for some information needed and be verified for the good matter.

gollark: So don't do it.
gollark: If your calculation can't be done in 0.05 seconds it's overstressing the server anyway.
gollark: Or at least on-every-tick.
gollark: I mean, IO is limited to per-tick, you understand.
gollark: Meaning?
