NGC 1010 is a barred spiral galaxy located approximately 60 million light-years away in the constellation Phoenix. It was discovered by the astronomer John Herschel in 1834 and is part of the Hubble sequence of galaxy classifications. This galaxy has a diameter of about 70,000 light-years and features a prominent central bar structure, which is characteristic of barred spiral galaxies. NGC 1010 is also notable for its bright star-forming regions, making it an interesting subject for astronomers studying galaxy evolution and star formation processes.
