Spiral Galaxy NGC 1637: Wide-field view of surrounding area | ESO
This image shows the sky around spiral galaxy NGC 1637 located about 38 million light-years away in the constellation of Eridanus (The River). It was created from images from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 (DSS2).
In 1999 and 2025, scientists discovered supernovae in this galaxy and followed its slow fading over the following years.
The Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) is a ground-based imaging survey of the entire sky in several colors of light produced by the Space Telescope Science Institute through its Guide Star Survey group.
