NGC 7038 is an intermediate spiral galaxy located about 210 million light-years away in the constellation of Indus. [2] [3] Astronomer John Herschel discovered NGC 7038 on September 30, 1834. [4]
Three supernovae have been observed in NGC 7038. SN 1983L (mag. 17.1) was discovered on June 14, 1983. [5] SN 2010dx ( type II, mag. 17.4) was discovered on June 8, 2010. [6] SN 2018hsa ( type Ia, mag. 16) was discovered on November 1, 2018. [7]
NGC 7038 along with NGC 7014 are the brightest members of Abell 3742. [8] [9] Abell 3742 is located near the center of the Pavo–Indus Supercluster. [10]
