NGC 1367 or NGC 1371 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Fornax. The galaxy lies about 75 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 1367 is approximately 130,000 light years across.[1] It was discovered by William Herschel on November 17, 1784, and independently by Ormond Stone in 1886.[3] It is a member of the Eridanus Cluster.
