NGC 1015 is a barred spiral galaxy that is located at distance of 118 million light years away from earth in the constellation of Cetus (The Whale). The galaxy's most notable feature is its fairly large and bright center with smooth, tightly wounded spiral arms.[1] The distance modulus to NGC 1015 is equal to the distance to NGC 1015 in Mpc. The galaxy was discovered on December 27 in the year 1875 by the German astronomer Wilhelm Temple.[3]
The galaxy is host to SN 2009ig, a typical Type Ia supernova.[4]
