IC 1185 is a type Sab[1] spiral galaxy located in Hercules.[2][3] It is located 420 million light-years from the Solar System and has an approximate diameter of 115,000 light-years.[4] IC 1185 was discovered on June 8, 1888, by astronomer Guillaume Bigourdan[5] and is a member of the Hercules Cluster.[6][7] IC 1185 has a surface brightness of magnitude 22.7[2] and presents a double nucleus, which might represent a late stage of galaxy merger.[8]
