NGC 326 is a double system consisting of a radio galaxy and a companion galaxy, which are together surrounded by an envelope of hot gas with an unusual structure. Located in the constellation of Pisces, approximately 642 million light years from the Milky Way, the pair are the brightest member of a small group of galaxies called Zwicky 0056.9 + 2636.
NGC 326 was discovered by Heinrich Louis d'Arrest on August 24, 1865 .
