NGC 1187 is a barred spiral galaxy located about 60 million light-years away in the constellation of Eridanus . It was discovered on December 9, 1784 by the astronomer William Herschel .[ 4]
NGC 1187 has hosted two supernova explosions since the 1980s. In October 1982, the first supernova seen in NGC 1187 — SN 1982R , a type I ,[ 5] La Silla Observatory [ 1] SN 2007Y , a type Ib/c.[ 6] [ 7]
