NGC 1460 is a barred lenticular galaxy with a peanut-shaped bar approximately 65 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Eridanus. It was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on November 28, 1837. It is a member of the Fornax cluster.
NGC 1460 is host to a nuclear star cluster with an estimated mass of around 6.7 × 10 M☉, and is also host to a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of around 6 × 10 M☉. It is also home to a population of around 39 observed globular clusters. There is also a population of 89 planetary nebulae, with 39 of them being observed in the center of the galaxy and 50 of them being observed in the halo of the galaxy.
