What Wikipedia says

NGC 1349 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Taurus. The galaxy lies about 290 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 1349 is approximately 80,000 light years across. It was discovered by Lewis Swift on December 20, 1886.
