NGC 360 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 103 million light-years from the Solar System[2] in the constellation Tucana. It was discovered on 2 November 1834 by John Herschel. Dreyer, creator of the New General Catalogue described the object as "extremely faint, very much extended 145°, very little brighter middle."[4]
