NGC 7585 is a lenticular galaxy with a peculiar shape resulting from an interaction between two galaxies. It is located 145 million light years away in the constellation Aquarius which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 7585 is about 100,000 light years across. It was discovered by William Herschel on September 20, 1784.[3]
