NGC 52 (PGC 978) is an edge-on spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus. It was discovered on September 18, 1784 by William Herschel. He described it as "very faint, small, extended."^[2]

Physical Characteristics[]

The galaxy is approximately 150,000 light years across.^[2] This makes it, in comparison, about 1.5 times as large as the Milky Way. The galaxy also has a satellite elliptical galaxy called PGC (Principal Galaxies Catalogue) .
