NGC 424 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Sculptor. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is , which corresponds to a Hubble distance of . Also, two non-redshift measurements give a similar mean distance of . It was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel on November 30, 1837.
NGC424 is a Seyfert I galaxy, i.e. it has a quasar-like nucleus with very high surface brightnesses whose spectra reveal strong, high-ionisation emission lines, but unlike quasars, the host galaxy is clearly detectable.
Supernova One supernova has been observed in NGC 424: SN2025scw (TypeII, mag. 16.924) was discovered by ATLAS on 24 July 2025.
