NGC 1032 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus, which is about 117 million light -years away from Earth and lies exactly from our point of view on the page.

NGC 1032 was discovered on December 18, 1783 by the German - British astronomer William Herschel.

In January 2005, lit up the weak supernova SN 2005E in NGC 1032. Observations show that neither the amount of material expelled still fit their chemical composition to one of the previously known explosion mechanisms for stars. Recent studies have suggested that this is a process that is closely orbiting white dwarfs occurs at two.
