NGC 1961 is an intermediate spiral galaxy with an active nucleus (AGN). Such galaxies fall into a classification between barred spirals (a separate group of stars at their centers) and barless spirals.
Galaxies with AGN are noted to have very bright centers that, at certain wavelengths of light, often significantly outshine the rest of the galaxy.
NGC 1961 is a fairly common type of galaxy with an AGN emitting low-energy charged particles.
The discoverer of this object is the German-British astronomer Friedrich Wilhelm Herschel, who first observed the space object on December 3, 1788.
As reported by Ukrinform, the NASA/ESA Hubble space telescope photographed the globular star cluster Terzan 4, located near the center of our Milky Way galaxy.
