NGC 772 (also known as Arp 78) is an unbarred spiral galaxy approximately 130 million light-years away in the constellation Aries. NGC 772 has a satellite galaxy named NGC 770. Two supernovae (SN 2003 hl & SN 2003 iq) were observed in NGC 772.
It probably has a H II nucleus, however, it may be a transitional object.[2]
