NGC 7679 is a lenticular galaxy with a peculiar morphology in the constellation Pisces. It is located at a distance of about 200 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 7679 is about 60,000 light years across. It was discovered by Heinrich d'Arrest on September 23, 1864.[3] The total infrared luminosity is 1011.05 L☉, and thus it is categorised as a luminous infrared galaxy.[4] NGC 7679 is both a starburst galaxy and a Seyfert galaxy.[5]
