Encyclopedic overview
NGC 14 is an irregular galaxy in the Pegasus constellation. It was included in Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, under the section "Galaxies with the appearance of fission," since the irregular appearance of this galaxy causes it to look like it is coming apart. It was discovered on September 18, 1786, by William Herschel.
