NGC 1325 is a flocculent spiral galaxy situated in the constellation of Eridanus. Located about 75 million light years away, [2] it is a member of the Eridanus cluster of galaxies, [3] a cluster of about 200 galaxies. It was discovered by William Herschel on 19 December 1799.

Contents

NGC 1325 has a Hubble classification of SBbc, which indicates it is a barred spiral galaxy with moderately wound arms. [5] Its angular size on the night sky is 4.5' x 1.7'. [5] The disk of the galaxy is inclined at an angle of 71° with the main axis aligned along a position angle of 232°. [3] The rotation curve for the galaxy is flat across much of the radius from the core. [7] The galaxy is moving away from the Milky Way with a heliocentric radial velocity of 1,588 km/s. [2]
