List of NGC objects (1–1000) facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

This is a list of objects from the New General Catalogue (NGC), specifically numbers 1 to 1000. This huge catalogue mainly includes amazing things you can see in space, like groups of stars, glowing nebulae (giant clouds of gas and dust), and other galaxies. You can find more objects from this catalogue on other pages that list them.

The information about which constellation each object is in comes from a special book called The Complete New General Catalogue and Index Catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters by J. L. E. Dreyer. We also used the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database to figure out the shapes of galaxies and to identify objects that are part of the Small Magellanic Cloud. Most of the other details in these tables are from the SIMBAD Astronomical Database.
