NGC 1741 is a distant pair of interacting galaxies in the Eridanus constellation. It was discovered on 6 January 1878 by French astronomer Édouard Stephan. As a result of the collision, the galaxies are in a rapid starburst phase. The galaxies are classed as Wolf–Rayet galaxies due to their high content of rare Wolf–Rayet stars.
