Constellation
A constellation is an area on the celestial sphere in which a group of visible stars forms a perceived pattern or outline, typically representing an animal, mythological subject, or inanimate object.
See NGC 7072 and Constellation
Epoch (astronomy)
In astronomy, an epoch or reference epoch is a moment in time used as a reference point for some time-varying astronomical quantity.

Light-year
A light-year, alternatively spelled light year (ly or lyr), is a unit of length used to express astronomical distances and is equal to exactly 9,460,730,472,580.8 km (Scientific notation: 9.4607304725808 × 1012 km), which is approximately 5.88 trillion mi.
List of NGC objects (7001–7840)
This is a list of NGC objects 7001–7840 from the New General Catalogue (NGC). NGC 7072 and list of NGC objects (7001–7840) are NGC objects.
See NGC 7072 and List of NGC objects (7001–7840)
New General Catalogue
The New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (abbreviated NGC) is an astronomical catalogue of deep-sky objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888. NGC 7072 and New General Catalogue are NGC objects.
See NGC 7072 and New General Catalogue
NGC 7060
NGC 7060 is an intermediate spiral galaxy located about 200 million light-years away in the constellation of Microscopium. NGC 7072 and NGC 7060 are intermediate spiral galaxies and NGC objects.
Principal Galaxies Catalogue
The Principal Galaxies Catalogue (PGC) is an astronomical catalog published in 1989 that lists B1950 and J2000 equatorial coordinates and cross-identifications for 73,197 galaxies.

Spiral galaxy
Spiral galaxies form a class of galaxy originally described by Edwin Hubble in his 1936 work The Realm of the Nebulae (pp. 124–151) and, as such, form part of the Hubble sequence.
