NGC 7007 is a lenticular galaxy[3] with a small bar,[4] around 100 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Indus.
[5][3] It was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on July 8, 1834.
[6] The galaxy is a type 2 seyfert galaxy,[7] and is host to a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 4.9 × 107 M☉.
[8] Like all lenticular galaxies, NGC 7007 has a classical disk similar to most galaxies of its type, having a nearly spherical bulge.
Unlike most galaxies of its type, the pattern of dust in NGC 7007 is not circular and continuous surrounding the bulge but shows breaks in its structure.
