NGC 1380 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Fornax. It is part of the Fornax Cluster, which is a group of galaxies situated about 65 million light-years away from Earth. NGC 1380 has a diameter of approximately 100,000 light-years and is characterized by its bright central bulge and a disk of stars. This galaxy is notable for its relatively low star formation rate, which is typical for lenticular galaxies. Observations of NGC 1380 reveal a significant amount of dust, indicating that it has retained some of the material needed for star formation, despite its older stellar population.
