Historical Information
On October 8, 1966, Truman Safford discovered NGC 140, and published the discovery in the appendix of an obscure paper. Sixteen years later, on the 5th of November, Edouard Stephan discovered the same object, but was unaware of Safford's earlier discovery. Wolfgang Steinicke's version of the catalog lists Safford as the discoverer.
