It is classified as a type of SAB galaxy, which means it has a weakly defined bar structure. NGC 1053 is notable for its bright core and well-defined spiral arms, making it an interesting object for astronomers. This galaxy is part of the Hubble Space Telescope observations and has been studied for its star formation activity. NGC 1053 is also a member of the NGC 1052 group, which includes several other galaxies, contributing to our understanding of galaxy interactions and evolution.
