It is estimated to be 186 million light years from the Milky Way and about 70,000 light years across. Presumably it forms a gravitationally bound galaxy pair together with NGC 1391 . The galaxy is a member of the NGC 1400 group.
In the same area of the sky are u. a. the galaxies NGC 1383 , NGC 1393 , NGC 1402 , NGC 1407 .
