NGC 766 is an elliptical galaxy located in the Pisces constellation about 362 million light years from the Milky Way. It was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel in 1828.[4][5][6]
Due to NGC 766 being situated close to the celestial equator it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year.[7]
