NGC 7479, also known as Caldwell 44 or the Superman Galaxy, is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus. Located about 105 million light-years from Earth, this galaxy is notable for its striking, asymmetric "S"-shaped spiral arms. The arms are thought to result from a past galactic collision, which also likely sparked a period of intense star formation in the galaxy.

NGC 7479 is a Seyfert galaxy, meaning its nucleus is highly active and emits intense radiation, possibly due to the presence of a supermassive black hole. Its distinctive structure and activity make it an interesting subject for studying galaxy evolution and dynamics.
