NGC 1954 is a large spiral galaxy in the constellation of Lepus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 3,172 ± 4 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 46.8 ± 3.3 Mpc Mpc (∼153 million light-years). It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 14 December 1786.
Three supernovae have been observed in NGC1954: SN2010ko (type Ia, mag.16.8),[2] SN2011fi (typeII, mag.17.8),[3] and SN2013ex (typeIa, mag.15.6).[4]
