I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like.
What we do. Every page goes through several hundred of perfecting techniques; in live mode. Quite the same Wikipedia. Just better.

NGC 1637 is an isolated, non-interacting[7] intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Eridanus, about a degree to the WNW of the star Mu Eridani.[9] It is located at a distance of about 9.77 ± 1.82 Mpc (31.9 ± 5.9 Mly) from the Milky Way.[3] The galaxy is inclined at an angle of 31.1° to the line of sight from the Earth and the long axis is oriented along a position angle of 16.3°.[3]

In 1991, Gérard de Vaucouleurs and associates assigned a morphological classification of SAB(rs)c to NGC 1637, indicating a spiral galaxy with a weak bar structure (SAB) across the nucleus, surrounded by a partial ring (rs) and somewhat loosely-wound arms (c).[7] While the inner section of the galaxy shows a symmetrical two-arm structure,[6] it has a single outer spiral arm that wraps 180° around the nucleus,[6] giving the galaxy an overall asymmetric, lopsided appearance.[7] The outer spiral arm has a red component that indicates a significant age.[6] However, the existence of this structure is difficult to explain.[7] The galaxy shows indications of recent starburst activity that may have terminated around 15 million years ago.[6]

The active central nucleus shows weak LINER behavior, and it may be an intermediate form between a LINER and an H II region.[7] The luminosity of the X-ray source at the nucleus is 1.2×1038 ergs s−1 in the 0.3–7 keV band.[6]

A type II-P core collapse supernova was discovered during October 1999, at an angular separation of 24″ to the southwest of the galaxy center. It received the designation SN 1999em and was the brightest supernova discovered that year, reaching magnitude 13.1.[10] The location corresponds to a deprojected galactocentric separation of 1.3 kpc (4.2 kly).[3]
