NGC 1073 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It probably has an H II nucleus.[2][3] NGC 1073 is about 55 million light years from Earth. NGC 1073 is about 80,000 light years across. NGC 1073 can be viewed with a mid-sized telescope and is found in the Cetus constellation, also called the Sea Monster. NGC 1073 is barred spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, unlike the Milky Way NGC 1073 does not have well formed symmetrical arms and the center bar is larger.[4]
