NGC 1482 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation of Eridanus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1817 ± 40 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 87.4 ± 6.7 Mly (26.81 ± 2.05 Mpc).^[1] In addition, one non-redshift measurement gives a distance of 64 Mly (19.6 Mpc).^[2] It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 19 December 1799.^[3]

Supernova

One supernova has been observed in NGC 1482. SN 1937E (type unknown, mag. 16.5) was discovered by Fritz Zwicky on 26 November 1937.^[4]^[5]
