NGC 7714 is aspiral galaxy in theconstellationPisces. Its velocity with respect to thecosmic microwave background is 2430 ± 26 km/s, which corresponds to aHubble distance of 116.9 ± 8.3 Mly (35.85 ± 2.54 Mpc).[2] In addition, fivenon-redshift measurements give a distance of 92.24 ± 8.69 Mly (28.280 ± 2.664 Mpc).[5] It was discovered byBritish astronomerJohn Herschel on 18 September 1830.[6]
NGC 7714 andNGC 7715 areinteracting galaxies.[4] The pair are included inHalton Arp'sAtlas of Peculiar Galaxies, listed as Arp 284.[7] NGC 7714 appears to be a highly distorted spiral, possibly abarred spiral galaxy. NGC 7715 is of uncertain type, probably an edge-on spiral or anirregular galaxy.[3]
