NGC 1262 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Eridanus. NGC 1262 is about 686 million light-years from Earth. This galaxy was formerly believed to be the most distant object in the New General Catalogue, however, in 2023 using data from Ann Isaacs from the University of Minnesota, Stephen Odewahn from the McDonald Observatory used new radial velocity calculations which placed NGC 1262 nowhere near the most distant NGC galaxy. NGC 1262 is also a large galaxy with a diameter of about 380,000 light-years making it nearly four times larger than the Milky Way. It was discovered by astronomer Francis Leavenworth on November 12, 1885.
