NGC 1590 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Taurus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 3826 ± 8 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 56.43 ± 3.95 Mpc (∼184 million light-years).[1] It was discovered by German astronomer Heinrich d'Arrest on 28 October 1865.[2]

One supernova has been observed in NGC 1590: SN 2007rz (type Ic, mag 16.9) was discovered by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) on 8 December 2007.[3][4]
