NGC 1460 is host to a nuclear star cluster with an estimated mass of around 6.7 × 107 M☉, [7] and is also host to a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of around 6 × 106 M☉. [8] It is also home to a population of around 39 observed globular clusters. [9] There is also a population of 89 planetary nebulae, with 39 of them being observed in the center of the galaxy and 50 of them being observed in the halo of the galaxy. [10]
