At the core lies a supermassive black hole. This image clearly shows the intense star forming regions at the ends of the bar and along the spiral arms, and details of dust lanes cutting across the galaxy's bright core. Barred spirals differ from normal spiral galaxies in that the arms of the galaxy do not.
It is a dominant member of the well-studied Fornax galaxy cluster. NGC 1300 is considered to be prototypical of barred spiral galaxies. NGC 1365 lies at an estimated distance of 56.2 million light-years. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 10.3 and its angular diameter is 11.2 × 6.2 arc-minutes. Spiral galaxy in the constellation Fornax. NGC 1365 (also known as Great Barred Spiral Galaxy) is a
