NGC 1380 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Fornax. It is located at a distance of circa 60 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 1380 is about 85,000 light years across.[1] It was discovered by James Dunlop on September 2, 1826.[2] It is a member of the Fornax Cluster.[3]
