NGC 1427 is a low-luminosity elliptical galaxy[5] located approximately 71 million light-years away from Earth.[2] It was discovered by John Frederick William Herschel on November 28, 1837.[6] It is a member of the Fornax Cluster.[7][8] The galaxy has a stellar mass of 7.9 × 1010 M☉, and a total mass of 9.4 × 1010 M☉.[4] However, the mass of the dark matter halo surrounding the galaxy is around 4.3 × 1012 M☉.[9]
