      NGC 1365

      NGC 1365, also known as the Great Barred Spiral Galaxy, is a double-barred spiral galaxy located about 56 million light-years away. Within the larger bar spanning the center of the galaxy, there appears to be a smaller bar comprising the nucleus. The inner bar structure likely rotates as a whole faster than the larger bar, creating the diagonal shape seen in the image.
