NGC 7742 also known as the Fried Egg Galaxy is a face-on unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1292 ± 26 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 62.2 ± 4.5 Mly (19.06 ± 1.39 Mpc). [2]

荷包蛋星系，又名 NGC 7742，是一個位於 飛馬座 的 螺旋星系，屬於第二型 西佛星系 （Seyfert galaxy），距離 地球 大約7,500萬 光年。

荷包蛋星系，又名 NGC 7742，是一个位于 飞马座 的 螺旋星系，属于第二型西佛星系（Seyfert galaxy），距离地球大约7,500万 光年。 由于在星系的 光谱 中，其中间核心特别光亮，形成一个类似荷包蛋的形状，这是该星系拥有高度 离子 化原子的证据。 天文学家已经在荷包蛋星系发现2颗 II型超新星：SN 1993R及SN 2014cy。 荷包蛋星系，又名NGC 7742，是一个位于飞马座的螺旋星系，属于第二型西佛星系（Seyfert galaxy），距离地球大约7,500万光年。

1998年10月21日 · What may first appear as a sunny side up egg is actually NASA Hubble Space Telescope's face-on snapshot of the small spiral galaxy NGC 7742. But NGC 7742 is not a run-of-the-mill spiral galaxy. In fact, this spiral is known to be a Seyfert 2 active galaxy, a type of galaxy that is probably powered by a black hole residing in its core.

About 72 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus, NGC 7742 is known to be a Seyfert galaxy - a type of active spiral galaxy with a center or nucleus which is very bright at visible wavelengths.

NGC 7742 is a Spiral Galaxy in the Pegasus constellation. NGC 7742 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year. Given its B magnitude of 12.5, NGC 7742 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 10 inches (250mm) or more.

What may first appear as a sunny side up egg is actually NASA / ESA Hubble Space Telescope's face-on snapshot of the small spiral galaxy NGC 7742. But NGC 7742 is not a run-of-the-mill spiral galaxy. In fact, this spiral is known to be a Seyfert 2 active galaxy, a type of galaxy that is probably powered by a black hole residing in its core.

Fried Egg Galaxy is a Spiral Galaxy located in the constellation of Pegasus in the northern hemisphere. Fried Egg Galaxy's distance from Earth is 72,000,000.00 light years. Fried Egg Galaxy is called NGC 7742 in the New General Catalogue (NGC).

NGC 7742位在飛馬座 (Pegasus)內， 距離我們有 7千 2百萬光年遠， 歸類為 西佛星系 (Seyfert galaxy)。 西佛星系是一種 活躍螺旋星系 (active spiral galaxy)， 活躍螺旋星系的特徵是核心 在可見光 波段非常亮。

NGC 7742 also known as Fried Egg Galaxy is a face-on unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus. It is also classified as a Type II Seyfert Galaxy.
