NGC 1032 is a spiral galaxy that is about 117 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on 18 December 1783 by German-British astronomer William Herschel.

According to the SIMBAD database, NGC 1032 is an Active Galaxy Nucleus Candidate, i.e. it has a compact region at the center of a galaxy that emits a significant amount of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that this luminosity is not produced by the stars.[4]

One supernova has been observed in NGC 1032. In January 2005, SN 2005E was discovered, initially classified as a type Ib or type Ic.[5][6] However, later analysis determined that it was instead a calcium-rich supernova, a (then) new type of astronomical transient.[7]
