IC 1296 is an extremely faint barred spiral galaxy of Hubble-type SBbc in the constellation Lyra in the northern sky. It is estimated to be 238 million light-years from the Milky Way and about 120,000 light-years in diameter.[1]
IC 1296 is only 4 arc minutes away from the well-known Ring Nebula in the night sky.[2] Planetary nebulae and galaxies are rarely observed together because planetary nebulae are galactic objects and are concentrated toward our galactic center, where extragalactic objects – such as distant galaxies – are rarely observed due to absorption by gas and dust.
The astronomical object was discovered on October 2, 1893, by Edward Emerson Barnard. In August 2013, supernova SN2013ev was discovered in the southern spiral arm of IC 1296.[3]
