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[3] was discovered in the southern spiral arm of IC 1296.[4]
