NGC 1380 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Fornax. It is located at a distance of circa 60 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 1380 is about 85,000 light years across.^[1] It was discovered by James Dunlop on September 2, 1826.^[2] It is a member of the Fornax Cluster.^[3]
