See it on NASA's siteNGC 7331 is a spiral galaxy in Pegasus, about 50 million light-years away. It's often compared to our own Milky Way galaxy. The galaxy's disk is inclined to our line-of-sight, creating a strong sense of depth in long exposures. This image captures its well-defined spiral structure.
