It is part of the Hubble Space Telescope catalog and is known for its distinct spiral arms and bright core, which are characteristic features of spiral galaxies. This galaxy has an apparent magnitude of about 13.5, making it faint and challenging to observe without a telescope. NGC 1034 is also notable for its interactions with nearby galaxies, which can influence its structure and star formation activities over time.
