The image features a detailed view of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1365, also known as the "Majestic Island Universe." The galaxy is prominently displayed in the center, showcasing its bright core and spiral arms, with a bar structure extending through the center. The image is a sharp color photograph, highlighting intense star-forming regions at the ends of the bar and along the spiral arms, as well as details of dust lanes cutting across the galaxy's bright core. The background is filled with numerous stars, emphasizing the vastness of space.

The text below the image provides additional information about NGC 1365, noting that it is located 60 million light-years away in the Fornax constellation and is a dominant member of the Fornax galaxy cluster. It mentions the supermassive black hole at the galaxy's core and the role of the prominent bar in the galaxy's evolution. The image credit and copyright are attributed to Dietmar Hager, Eric Benson, and Torsten Grossmann. The text also hints at a future image titled "under the galaxy."
