NGC 78 is a pair of galaxies in the constellation Pisces.[2] NGC 78A, which is the more southern galaxy, is a barred spiral galaxy.[2] NGC 78B, which is the more northern galaxy, is an elliptical galaxy.[4] Although the designations NGC 78A and 78B are used today, the designation NGC 78 was formerly used mainly for the northern galaxy.[5]

NGC 78 was discovered no later than 1876 by Carl Frederick Pechüle.[5] It was described as "very faint, small, round" by John Louis Emil Dreyer, the compiler of the New General Catalogue.[5] Because the two galaxies have different recessional velocities, the two galaxies are most likely not interacting.[5]

NGC 78 es un par de galaxias en interacción localizado en la constelación de Piscis.[2] Las dos galaxias que interaccionan son NGC 78A y NGC 78B.[2] NGC 78A, que es la galaxia más austral, es una galaxia espiral barrada.[3] NGC 78B, que es la galaxia más septentrional, es una galaxia elíptica. Aunque las designaciones NGC 78A y 78B se usan en la actualidad, la designación NGC 78 se usó anteriormente principalmente para la galaxia del norte.[4]
