NGC 1700 is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Eridanus. It is located at a distance of circa 120 million light years from Earth based on redshift independent methods, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 1700 is about 110,000 light years across. [1] Based on redshift alone, the galaxy lies 170 million light years ...
NGC 1421 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Eridanus. The galaxy lies about 70 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 1421 is approximately 70,000 light years across. [1] It was discovered by William Herschel on February 1, 1785. [3] It is a member of the Eridanus Group.
Epsilon Eridani is located in the northern part of the constellation Eridanus, about 3° east of the slightly brighter star Delta Eridani. With a declination of −9.46°, Epsilon Eridani can be viewed from much of Earth's surface, at suitable times of year. Only to the north of latitude 80° N is it permanently hidden below the horizon.
