NGC 1351 is a lenticular galaxy [1] in the constellation Fornax. It has a redshift of z=0.00505, [3] [2] and its distance from Earth can be estimated as 21 million parsecs (68 million light-years). It is elongated in shape, and was discovered by John Herschel on October 19, 1835.

The diameter of the galaxy is about 33 kpc, [2] which makes it a medium-size galaxy, and smaller than the Milky Way. It is a member of the Fornax Cluster, a cluster of approximately 200 galaxies. The galaxy possesses a bright nucleus at its center. [2]

It is currently receding from the solar system at a velocity of 1514 km/s, [2] and 1410 km/s from the cosmic microwave background. [2]

The Fornax Cluster is a cluster of galaxies lying at a distance of 19 megaparsecs (62 million light-years). It has an estimated mass of (7±2)×1013 solar masses, making it the second richest galaxy cluster within 100 million light-years, after the considerably larger Virgo Cluster. It may be associated with the nearby Eridanus Group. It lies primarily in the constellation Fornax, with its southern boundaries partially crossing into the constellation of Eridanus, and covers an area of sky about 6° across or about 28 sq degrees.
