Spiral galaxy M33 infrared view - Spiral galaxy M33 seen in infrared - M33, (NGC 598), the galaxy of the Triangle, is located about 2.9 million years ago - light from Earth. It belongs to the local group, just like our galaxy or Andromede galaxy. This infrared image from the Spitzer space telescope shows stars in blue, gas in green, star formations in red - orange. Red dots are distant galaxies. In infrared, the galaxy appears larger than visible light, revealing cold gas and dust that spread around the galaxy. Also known as M33 or NGC 598, the Triangulum Galaxy is part of the Local Group of galaxies, which includes the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and our galaxy, the Milky Way. M33 is over thirty thousand light - years across, and more than two million light - years away. Viewed here with Spitzer's infrared eyes, this elegant spiral galaxy sparkles with color and detail. Stars appear as glistening blue gems (several of which are actually foreground stars in our own galaxy), while dust rich

Galaxies NGC 4631 and NGC 4656 - 57 in Hunting Dogs - Galaxies NGC 4631 and NGC 4656 - 57 - The spiral galaxy NGC 4631 (upper right) is a galaxy seen by the slice that is located at a distance of 30 million years - light. His small companion, the elliptical galaxy NGC 4627, is visible just above it. Below the irregular galaxies NGC 4656 and NGC 4657. Galaxies NGC 4631 (top right) and NGC 4656 (bottom left) are two unusual galaxies in Canes Venatici. A small companion galaxy, NGC 4627, can be seen next to NGC 4631. The galaxies, which are located about 30 million lights years away, get their unusual shapes from gravitational interactions with each other. NGC 6431 and NGC 4627 are also listed in ARP's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as Arp 281

Spiral Galaxy M31 in Andromede - Spiral galaxy M31 in Andromeda - The galaxy of Andromede is located about 2.9 million years ago - light from Earth. Two satellite galaxies accompany it: M32 (NGC 221) in the center left, and M110 (NGC 205) below. Like the lactee path, the Andromede galaxy belongs to the local group, making up about thirty galaxies. M31, the Great galaxy in Andromeda, is a gigantic collection of more than 300 billion stars and is located about 2 million light years from Earth. Companion dwarf elliptical galaxies M32 and M110 are also visible. M31 and its companions are part of our local group of galaxies, which includes the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds, and M33. The Andromeda Galaxy is headed towards our Milky Way Galaxy and is expected to collide with it and possibly merge into a gigantic elliptical galaxy in about 3 billion years

Spiral galaxy M31 in Andromede - M31, the Great galaxy in Andromeda - The galaxy of Andromede is located about 2 million years ago - light from Earth. Two satellite galaxies accompany it: M32 (NGC 221) in the center left, and M110 (NGC 205) below. Like the lactee path, the Andromede galaxy belongs to the local group, making up about thirty galaxies. M31, the Great galaxy in Andromeda, is a gigantic collection of more than 300 billion stars and is located about 2 million light years from Earth. Companion dwarf elliptical galaxies M32 and M110 are also visible. M31 and its companions are part of our local group of galaxies, which includes the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds, and M33. The Andromeda Galaxy is headed towards our Milky Way Galaxy and is expected to collide with it and possibly merge into a gigantic elliptical galaxy in about 3 billion years

Spiral galaxy NGC 6503 in the Dragon - Spiral galaxy NGC 6503 in Draco - The dwarf spiral galaxy NGC 6503 is located about 17 million years ago - light from Earth. It spans 30,000 light years and shows many star-forming regions. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. Fresh starbirth infuses the galaxy NGC 6503 with a vital pink glow in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This galaxy, a smaller version of the Milky Way, is perched near a great void in space where few other galaxies reside. This new image from Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys displays, with particular clarity, the pink - colored puffs marking where stars have recently formed in NGC 6503's swirling spiral arms. Although structurally similar to the Milky Way, the disc of NGC 6503 spans just 30 000 light - years, or just about a third of the size of the Milky Way, leading astronomers to classify NGC 6503 as a dwarf spiral galaxy.

Spiral galaxy NGC 6744 in the constellation Peacock - Spiral galaxy NGC 6744 in Pavo - The galaxy NGC 6744 is about 25 million years away - light from Earth. This galaxy interacts with a dwarf galaxy. Image obtained with a telescope of 35 cm, 12 hours of poses. NGC 6744 is a majestic spiral galaxy in the southern constellation of Pavo. It has great similarities to the Milky Way galaxy in both form and structure. It lies at a distance of approximately 25 million Light Years. At its northern tip NGC 6744 is interacting with a dwarf companion galaxy much in the same way the Milky Way interacts with the Large Magellanic Cloud. The northernmost spiral arm is most likely being stretched and its stars and gas stripped due to tidal pull from the dwarf companion. Likewise the stars of the companion will likely be engulfed and the companion will ultimately merge with NGC 6744 at a far off future time. Image taken with 14.5”” RCOS telescope, 12 Hours of exposure

Spiral galaxy NGC 2997 in the Pneumatic Machine - Spiral galaxy NGC 2997 in Antlia - NGC 2997 is a spiral galaxy distant about 55 million years - light. NGC 2997 seems to be a galaxy seen from the front but in reality is inclined by about 45 degrees. Its arms are home to large star-forming regions while its core is surrounded by much older yellow stars. The disc of NGC 2997 is inclined at about 45 degrees to our line of sight, revealing its internal structure and giving the galaxy an oval appearance. Like most spirals, the galaxy has two prominent spiral arms, which appear to originate in the yellow nucleus, are peppered with bright red blobs of ionised hydrogen which are similar to regions of star formation in our own Milky Way. Within these gas clouds are produced the hot blue stars which generate most of the light in the arms of the galaxy. A much older population of yellowish stars are concentrated around the nucleus. NGC 2997 is located about 55 million light year from us

Spiral Galaxy M51 in Hunting Dogs and Supernova - The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) in Canes Venatici with SN 2005cs - The spiral galaxy M51 (NGC 5194) is located about 37 million years ago - light from Earth. This galaxy is double; two galaxies interact: the largest, NGC 5194, the smallest NGC 5195. On June 28, 2005 a supernova of type II appeared in M51; this supernova (SN 2005cs) is visible just under the nucleus, in the first arm. Image obtained with two telescopes of 50 cm and 30 cm, composite of several poses. The Whirlpool Galaxy lies approximately 31 million light years from earth. This spectacular galaxy is paired with a smaller, more distant companion whose matter is being disrupted by the larger spiral in a gravitational tug of war. Eventually, the shape of both will be altered over many more millions of years. On June 28, 2005, a new star was noticed in this galaxy. It was confirmed to be a bright supernova, one of the brightest in recent years and similar to the brightest superno

The picture shows the complex structure of ESO 269 - 57, with an inner “” ring””, of several tightly wound spiral arms, surrounded by two outer ones that appear to split into several branches. Many blue and diffuse objects are visible - most are star - forming regions. The galaxy type is Sa (r) and its distance is about 155 million light - years. It extends over about 4 arcmin in the sky, corresponding to almost 200,000 light - years across. Many other galaxies are visible in the background.

The galaxies are visibly interacting with each other via a bridge of dim stars connecting the two galaxies, almost like two dancers holding hands while performing a pirouette. Both galaxies harbor supermassive black holes in their centers and are actively forming new stars in their disks. Arp 240 is located in the constellation Virgo, approximately 300 million light - years away, and is the 240th galaxy in ARP's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. With the e
