Image details:

NGC 4725 is an intermediate barred spiral galaxy with a prominent ring structure about 40 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. NGC 4725 is a Seyfert Galaxy, suggesting an active galactic nucleus containing a supermassive black hole.

It is the dominant member of the Coma II Subgroup or the NGC 4725 Group (within the larger Coma-Sculptor Group), a small group of galaxies that also includes NGC 4712 and NGC 4747, both at a distance of approximately 200 million light-years. (Information from Wikipedia)
