NGC 1259 is a lenticular galaxy[2] located about 243 million light-years away[3] in the constellation Perseus.[4] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer Guillaume Bigourdan on October 21, 1884[5] and is a member of the Perseus Cluster.[6][5]

A type Ia supernova designated as SN 2008L was discovered in NGC 1259 on January 14, 2008.[7][8][9]
