NGC 1310 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the southern constellation of Fornax.[2] It was discovered by English astronomer John Herschel on 22 October 1835.[4]
At a distance of 72 million light-years (22 Mpc) away from the Sun,[3] NGC 1310 is a member of the Fornax A subgroup of the Fornax Cluster of galaxies.[1]
In 1965, a supernova was discovered about 14 arcseconds east and 7 arcseconds south of the center of NGC 1310; it was subsequently designated SN 1965J.[5]
