NGC 60 is an Sc type spiral galaxy in the Pisces constellation. NGC 60 is noticed for its unusually distorted spiral arms, which are commonly due to gravitational effects of neighboring galaxies, but there are no galaxies around NGC 60 to allow this.[2]
One supernova has been observed in NGC 60: SN 2023zba (type IIP, mag. 18.8).[3]
