|---|---|
| A galaxy fills up most of the frame from the right. It is fuzzy and diffuse, but made up of numerous tiny stars. In the core, the stars merge into a glowing bar shape. The gas and stars in the galaxy vary between warm and cool colours. They are spread over a large area, the colours mixing like clouds. The glow of the galaxy fades into a black background, with a few stars and small, distant galaxies. NGC 7292 imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope | |

NGC 7292 is a barred irregular galaxy in the constellation of Pegasus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 652±24 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 31.4 ± 2.5 Mly (9.62 ± 0.76 Mpc).[1] However, six non-redshift measurements give a larger mean distance of 38.55 ± 4.13 Mly (11.820 ± 1.266 Mpc).[2] It was discovered by French astronomer Édouard Stephan on 29 August 1872.[3]
NGC 7292 has a possible active galactic nucleus, i.e. it has a compact region at the center of a galaxy that emits a significant amount of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that this luminosity is not produced by the stars.[4][5]
Supernovae
Two supernovae have been observed in NGC 7292.
- SN 1964H (Type II, mag. 13.5) was discovered by Howard Stiles Gates on 16 June 1964.[6][7][8]
- SN 2026fov (Type II, mag. 13.5) was discovered by Kōichi Itagaki on 14 March 2026. It is located 11".6 east and 24".5 north of the center of NGC 7292.[9][10]
