[2] It is located 464 million light-years away from the Solar System[3] and was discovered on August 11, 1892, by Stephane Javelle.

IC 1182 radiates a lot of energy and ejects a substantial amount of material at high velocity.

[6] IC 1182 shows high resolution broad and narrow band images and long slit spectroscopy.

[7] Some of the galactic material, in the form of two slender tails are detected beyond the main body of the galaxy.

IC 1182 has color indices of an early type object which is significantly bluer than what is typical for this kind of galaxy.
