NGC 1898 is a globular cluster[3] in the constellation of Dorado at an approximate distance of 170,000 light-years.[1] NGC 1898 is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way,[1] and was for some time believed to be discovered by John Herschel in 1834; however recent research shows it was first observed by James Dunlop in 1826.[4][5]
