Located a mere 60 million light-years away toward the faint but heated constellation Fornax, NGC 1365 is a dominant member of the well-studied Fornax Cluster of galaxies. This sharp color image shows the intense, reddish star forming regions near the ends of the galaxy&#8217;s central bar and along its spiral arms. Seen in fine detail, obscuring dust lanes cut across the galaxy&#8217;s bright core. At the core lies a supermassive black hole. Astronomers think NGC 1365&#8217;s prominent bar plays a crucial role in the galaxy&#8217;s evolution, drawing gas and dust into a star-forming maelstrom and ultimately feeding material into the central black hole. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap240201.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barred spiral galaxy NGC 1365 is truly a majestic island universe some 200,000 light-years across.
