NGC 7331

(Caldwell 30)
(spiral galaxy without a bar)

NGC 7331 is a spiral galaxy that lacks a bar, with galaxy type SA(s)b. It has been considered a galaxy much like the Milky Way: a similar size and star formation rate, giving it the potential to represent a proxy for studying such a galaxy from the outside. However, ongoing observation has revealed differences. A number of supernovae have been observed within it.
