IC 1265 is a small galaxy located in the constellation of Hydra. It is classified as a barred spiral galaxy, which means it has a central bar-shaped structure made up of stars, along with spiral arms that extend outward. This galaxy is part of the IC catalog, a collection of astronomical objects compiled by the astronomer John Louis Emil Dreyer in the late 19th century. The distance to IC 1265 is approximately 100 million light-years from Earth. It is not one of the most prominent galaxies, making it less studied compared to larger galaxies like Andromeda or the Milky Way. Observations of IC 1265 contribute to our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution in the universe.
