An optical image of the nearby Seyfert galaxy NGC 4945. Seen almost edge-on,
the nuclear region of this galaxy, and its activity, are obscured by a dusty torus of material. New results suggest that the different kinds of observed Seyfert galaxy morphologies may be due not only to obscuration and viewing angle effects like this, but also to various kinds of nuclear activity.
