NGC 1395 is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Eridanus. It is located at a distance of circa 75 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 1395 is about 130,000 light years across.[1] It was discovered by William Herschel on November 17, 1784.[2] It is a member of the Eridanus Cluster.
