NGC 1268 is a spiral galaxy located about 140 million light-years away[2] in the constellation Perseus.[3] It was discovered by astronomer Heinrich d'Arrest on February 14, 1863.[4] NGC 1268 is a member of the Perseus Cluster[5][4] and appears to show signs of distortion in the form of bridges.[5] These features may be the result of a strong interaction with NGC 1267.[5][4]

On August 30, 2008, a type Ia supernova designated as SN 2008fg was discovered in NGC 1268.[6][7][8]
