NGC 1351 is a lenticular galaxy[1] in the constellation Fornax. It has a redshift of z=0.00505,[2] [3] and its distance from Earth can be estimated as 21 million parsecs (68 million light-years). It is elongated in shape, and was discovered by William Herschel on October 19, 1835.
The diameter of the galaxy is about 33 kpc, which makes it a medium-size galaxy, and smaller than the Milky Way. It is a member of the Fornax Cluster, a cluster of approximately 200 galaxies. The galaxy possesses a bright nucleus at its center.
It is currently receding from the solar system at a velocity of 1514 km/s, and 1410 km/s from the cosmic microwave background.
