NGC 1672, visible from the Southern Hemisphere, is seen almost face on and shows regions of intense star formation.
The greatest concentrations of star formation are found in the so-called starburst regions near the ends of the galaxy's strong galactic bar.
NGC 1672 is a prototypical barred spiral galaxy 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
