NGC 1023B is a barred spiral galaxy located approximately 11 million light-years away in the constellation Perseus. It is part of the NGC 1023 galaxy group and is notable for its distinct bar structure, which is a common feature in many spiral galaxies. The galaxy has an apparent magnitude of around 13.5, making it faint and challenging to observe without a telescope. NGC 1023B is also of interest to astronomers studying galaxy formation and evolution due to its interactions with nearby galaxies in the same group.
