NGC 1019 is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 316 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Cetus. [2] It was discovered by French astronomer Édouard Stephan on December 1, 1880 with the 31" reflecting telescope at the Marseille Observatory. [4]
NGC 1019 is classified as Type I Seyfert galaxy. [2] Its nuclei is surrounded by tight rings or annuli of star formation, [5] and the rings contain compact, young star clusters. [6]
