Deep-sky objects thumb|Messier 77 spiral galaxy - HST (Hubble Space Telescope). thumb|Cetus by Willem Blaeu, 1602. Cetus lies far from the galactic plane, so that many distant galaxies are visible, unobscured by dust from the Milky Way. Of these, the brightest is Messier 77 (NGC 1068), a 9th magnitude spiral galaxy near Delta Ceti. It appears face-on and has a clearly visible nucleus of magnitude 10. About 50 million light-years from Earth, M77 is also a Seyfert galaxy and thus a bright object in the radio spectrum. Recently, the galactic cluster JKCS 041 was confirmed to be the most distant cluster of galaxies yet discovered. The Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex is a galaxy filament that is one of the largest known structures in the observable Universe; it contains the Virgo supercluster which contains the Local Group of Milky Way and other galaxies.
