via Wikipedia infobox
NGC 132 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 5015 ± 25 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 241.3 ± 16.9 Mly (73.97 ± 5.19 Mpc). In addition, three non redshift measurements give a distance of 250.81 ± 2.14 Mly (76.900 ± 0.656 Mpc). It was discovered on 25 December 1790 by German-British astronomer William Herschel.
Two supernovae have been observed in NGC 132: SN 2004fe (type Ic, mag. 18.1) was discovered on 30 October 2004, and SN 2024vku (type IIn, mag. 20.14) was discovered on 12 September 2024.
