NGC 10 is aspiral galaxy located in the southernconstellation ofSculptor. It was discovered byJohn Herschel on 25 September 1834.[8] The galaxy is located at a distance of346 Mly from theSun.[3] Itsmorphological classification in theDe Vaucouleurs system is SAB(rs)bc,[4] where the 'SAB' denotes a weak-barred spiral, '(rs)' indicates a slight ring-like structure, and 'bc' means thespiral arms are moderately to loosely wound.[9] Paturel et al. (2003) assigned this galaxy a classification of SBbc, indicating a barred spiral galaxy.[5]
On 22 December 2011, aType II supernova designatedSN 2011jo was discovered in NGC 10 by Stuart Parker of New Zealand. It was located2″ east and16″ north of the galactic nucleus.[10]
