NGC 672 is a barred spiral galaxy (SB(s)cd) located in the constellation of Triangulum at a distance of about 8 Megaparsecs from Earth. Its mass is estimated at about 8 billion solar masses.It is located about 85,000 light years from another spiral galaxy, IC 1727 with which it interacts gravitationally. In fact, filaments of dark matter have been identified that connect the two galaxiesNGC 672 together with IC 1727 and NGC 784 is part of the NGC 672 Group, which also includes four irregular dwarf galaxies (AGC 110482, AGC 111945, AGC 111946 and AGC 112521).
