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 notable for its bright core and active star formation regions. NGC 1062 is part of a group of galaxies and is often studied to understand the dynamics and evolution of spiral galaxies in the universe. Its distance and characteristics make it an interesting object for astronomers.
