NGC 1369 is a barred lenticular galaxy located 59 million light years away[4] in constellation of Eridanus. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer Julius Schmidt on January 19, 1865,[5] and is a member of the Fornax Cluster.[6] NGC 1369 is a host to a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 1.8 million solar masses.[7]
Surrounding NGC 1369 is a population of a least 11 known globular clusters.[8]
