NGC 1484 is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 50 million light-years away^[3] from Earth in the constellation of Fornax. It was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on November 28, 1837.^[4] NGC 1484 is a member of the Fornax cluster.^[5][2]

Its distance and size on the night sky convert to an approximate size of 35,638 light years, only a third or one-quarter the size of the Milky Way Galaxy.
