Description

NGC 1073 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus, about 55 million light years from Earth.

There are also three quasars in the image. They look like they are part of the galaxy, but they are in fact distant objects behind the galaxy, observable because of their incredible brightness.
