NGC 100 is a faint spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces on the ecliptic. It is classified with the Hubble type Sc, but since we see the galaxy exactly from the side , classification is very difficult. The galaxy is an estimated 44 million light years away from the Milky Way and about 45,000 light years across. It is an extraordinarily elongated galaxy, with a very small core compared to its overall size.
In the same area of the sky is u. a. the galaxy NGC 99 .
The object was discovered on November 10, 1885 by the American astronomer Lewis A. Swift .
