NGC 1405
NGC 1405 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Eridanus. It is approximately 70 million light-years away from Earth and is part of the Eridanus galaxy cluster. NGC 1405 has a bright core and exhibits a smooth, featureless appearance typical of lenticular galaxies.
Discovered by astronomer John Herschel in 1835, NGC 1405 is classified as type S0, indicating its intermediate characteristics between spiral and elliptical galaxies. Its size and brightness make it an interesting object for astronomers studying galaxy formation and evolution within the Eridanus cluster.
