NGC 2130 is a barred spiral galaxy located approximately 70 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra. It was discovered by the astronomer John Herschel in 1834 and is part of the Hercules constellation group. This galaxy is notable for its bright core and well-defined spiral arms, which are characteristic features of barred spiral galaxies. NGC 2130 is also classified as a Seyfert galaxy, indicating that it has an active nucleus that emits significant radiation, often due to the presence of a supermassive black hole at its center.
