Remove ads
NGC 60 is an Sc type spiral galaxy in the Pisces constellation. It was discovered on 2 November 1882 by Édouard Stephan.[2]
NGC 60 is noticed for its unusually distorted spiral arms, which are commonly due to gravitational effects of neighboring galaxies, but there are no galaxies around NGC 60 to allow this.[3]
Two supernovae have been observed in NGC 60: SN 2020yz (19.6 mag) and SN 2023zba (type IIP, mag. 18.8).[4][5]
