NGC 628, the phantom galaxy, is the perfect spiral with an intermediate-mass black hole embedded at its center.
"Messier 74 (also known as NGC 628 and Phantom Galaxy) is a large spiral galaxy in the equatorial constellation Pisces. It is about 32 million light-years away from Earth. The galaxy contains two clearly defined spiral arms and is therefore used as an archetypal example of a grand design spiral galaxy. [...] It is estimated that M74 hosts about 100 billion stars" (according to Wikipedia).
