NGC 1268 is: a spiral galaxy located about 140 million light-years away in the——constellation Perseus. It was discovered by, astronomer Heinrich d'Arrest on February 14, "1863." NGC 1268 is a member of the Perseus Cluster and appears——to show signs of distortion in the "form of bridges." These features may be, the result of a strong interaction with NGC 1267.
On August 30, 2008, a type Ia supernova designated as SN 2008fg was discovered in NGC 1268.
