NGC 918 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Aries, about 67 million light years from the Milky Way. It was discovered by John Herschel on Jan 11, 1831.[4]

The brightness class of NGC 918 is III and it has a broad line of neutral hydrogen. NGC 918 is also an active nucleus galaxy (AGN). Moreover, it is a field galaxy which does not belong to a cluster or group and is therefore gravitationally isolated.[5]

Many non-redshift measures give a distance of 19,115 ± 6,160 Mpc (~62,3 million ly),[6] which is within the distances calculated using the value shift.[2]

Supernovae

Two supernovae have been observed in NGC 918:

NGC 918 and dust clouds within our Milky Way with the 10th data release of the Legacy Survey.
