The E0 NGC 79 is an elliptical galaxy estimated to be about 270 million light-years [3] away in the constellation of Andromeda. NGC 79 is its New General Catalogue designation. Its apparent magnitude is 14.9. It was discovered on 14 November 1884 by Guillaume Bigourdan. [5] NGC 79 (near-infrared)
It is commonly used by stargazers to find the Andromeda Galaxy. The galaxy NGC 404, also known as Mirach's Ghost, is seven arcminutes away from Mirach. [16] This star has an apparent visual magnitude of around 2.07, [1] varying between 2.01 and 2.10, [2] which at times makes it the brightest star in the constellation.
It is located 130,000 light-years (40 kpc) [3] from the Andromeda Galaxy's galactic core, and is the brightest [3] (by absolute magnitude) globular cluster in the Local Group, with an absolute visual magnitude of −10.94 and the luminosity of 2 million Suns. [4] It has an apparent magnitude of 13.81 in V band.
