NGC 1385 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Fornax. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1381 ± 9 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 20.37 ± 1.43 Mpc (~66.5 million light-years).[1] In addition, 30 non redshift measurements give a distance of 15.999 ± 12.131 Mpc (~52.2 million light-years).[2] The galaxy was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 17 November 1784.[3][4]
Although no supernovae have yet been observed in NGC 1385, the astronomical transient AT 2020pju was discovered by the Gaia Photometric Science Alerts on 18 June 2020. Spectral analysis revealed the star to be a luminous blue variable.[5]
In 2024, NGC 1385 was imaged by James Webb Space Telescope as part of Physics at High Angular Project resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) project, studying phases of star formations.[6]
