NGC 1484 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Eridanus, 48 million light-years from Earth. It is part of the Fornax Cluster, that contains approximately 200 galaxies, making it the second richest galaxy cluster in 100 million light-years after the Virgo Cluster.
It was discovered by William Herschel on November 28, 1837. [3] Its distance and size on the night sky convert to an actual size of 35,000 light years, only a third or one-quarter the size of the Milky Way Galaxy.
