Article
NGC 462 is an elliptical galaxy located in the Pisces constellation. It was discovered by Albert Marth on 23 October 1864. Dreyer, creator of the New General Catalogue, originally described it as "extremely faint, very small, stellar". The word stellar clearly suggests an initial misidentification of NGC 462 as a star.
