Barred Spiral Galaxy NGC 1672 in Dorado.

NGC 1672 is a prototypical barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Dorado, and differs from normal spiral galaxies in that the spiral arms do not twist all the way into the centre. Instead, they are attached to the two ends of a straight bar of stars enclosing the nucleus.
