NGC 7319 is a spiral galaxy member of the Stephan's Quintet located in the constellation Pegasus.

Controversially, the galaxy could "contain" a Quasar. A quasar is an object conventionally thought to be incredibly further away than an ordinary galaxy such as 7319. If it is true that the quasar is really "in" 7319, it could be that everything we currently generally believe about redshift and much of cosmology, is wrong.
