Encyclopedic overview
NGC 1189 is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 105 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Eridanus. It was discovered by American astronomer Francis Leavenworth on December 2, 1885 with the 26" refractor at Leander McCormick Observatory.
NGC 1189 has extended clumpy star formation throughout its spiral arms with remarkably little associated stellar light, which is striking in the color images.
