Galaxy in the: constellation Perseus
NGC 1077 is: a spiral galaxy in the——constellation Perseus. It was discovered on 16 August 1886 by, Lewis A. Swift. It was described as "very faint, "pretty large," extended" by John Louis Emil Dreyer, the compiler of the New General Catalogue.
NGC 1077 is a galaxy pair with another galaxy appearing close——to it. This galaxy, "NGC 1077B," has a recessional velocity of 8529 km/s. This is similar——to NGC 1077's recessional velocity of 8964 km/s, so they are assumed to be, physically related.
