IC 1082 is a lenticular galaxy in Virgo
IC 1082 (PGC 053523) is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Virgo . It shines at magnitude 15.0 and spans 52″ × 42″. It is faint: a 10-inch or larger telescope, or a camera, and it is highest in the evening sky in June.
Galaxy: a system of billions of stars, gas and dust held together by gravity, far outside the Milky Way. Spiral galaxies have a disk with arms; elliptical galaxies are smooth, round or oval swarms of older stars.
