NGC 1419 is an elliptical galaxy [4] located 62 million light years away [2] in the constellation of Eridanus. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on October 22, 1835, [5] and is a member of the Fornax Cluster. [6] NGC 1419 is a host to a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 25 million solar masses. [7]

155 known globular clusters have been observed surrounding NGC 1419, [8] along with 21 planetary nebulae. These planetary nebulae reveal that the distance to NGC 1419 is approximately 18.9 Mpc, while measurements using surface brightness fluctuations reveal that NGC 1419 is approximately 22.9 ± 0.9 Mpc away. The measurements using planetary nebulae confirm that NGC 1419 is a member of the Fornax Cluster. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Virgo Cluster</span> Galaxy cluster in the constellation Virgo

The Virgo Cluster is a large cluster of galaxies whose center is 53.8 ± 0.3 Mly away in the constellation Virgo. Comprising approximately 1,300 member galaxies, the cluster forms the heart of the larger Virgo Supercluster, of which the Local Group is a member. The Local Group actually experiences the mass of the Virgo Supercluster as the Virgocentric flow. It is estimated that the Virgo Cluster's mass is 1.2×1015M☉ out to 8 degrees of the cluster's center or a radius of about 2.2 Mpc.
