Spiral Galaxy M31 in Andromede - The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) - The Andromede galaxy is located about 2.3 million years ago - light from Earth. Two satellite galaxies accompany it: M32 (NGC 221) on the left of the nucleus, and M110 (NGC 205) on the bottom. Like the lactee path, the Andromede galaxy belongs to the local group, making up about thirty galaxies. Andromeda is the nearest major galaxy to our own Milky Way Galaxy. M31 is about 2.3 million light years far from us in the constellation Andromeda. It is the biggest member in our Local Group. Its diameter is more than 150,000 light years, compared to the Milky Way's 100,000 light years. M31 has two satellite galaxies: M110 (NGC 205) the elliptic galaxy at bottom and M32 (NGC 221), the bright star - like object at left of the nucleus

Spiral galaxy NGC 6744 in the constellation Peacock - Spiral galaxy NGC 6744 in Pavo - The galaxy NGC 6744 is about 30 million years away - light from Earth. This galaxy is very similar to our galaxy, the lactee path. Image obtained by the 2.2 meter MPG/ESO telescope at the La Silla Observatory. This picture of the nearby galaxy NGC 6744 was taken with the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2 - metre telescope at La Silla. The large spiral galaxy is similar to the Milky Way, making this image look like a picture postcard of our own galaxy sent from extragalactic space. The picture was created from exposures taken through four different filters that passed blue, yellow - green, red light, and the glow coming from hydrogen gas. These are shown in this picture as blue, green, orange and red, respectively

Globular cluster M22 in Sagittarius - Globular cluster M22 in Sagittarius - M22 (NGC 6656) is one of the closest globular clusters of the Sun, located about 10 400 years ago - light. Age 12 billion years, it is the third most brilliant globular cluster among the 150 known in the lactee pathway. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). M22 (NGC 6656) is one of the nearest globular clusters to our sun (distance 10 400 light years). Its stars stretch some 200 light years across and its collective brightness ranks it third among the 150 known Milky Way globulars. It is outshined visually only by the two bright southern globulars, Omega Centauri and 47 Tucanae. M22 is considered an old globular cluster having its beginning some 12 billion years ago not long after the formation of the Milky Way

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

Around the Baade window - The Baade's window region - The Baade Window (at the bottom right of the Gamma star of Sagittarius, the brightest of this image) is a region of the Lactee Way in the constellation of Sagittarius containing little interstellar dust. This region, named in reference to the astronomer Walter Baade, allows astronomers to have a more degagee view of the center of our galaxy. The Baade window, (at the bottom right of the bright star close to the center of this image), is a region of the Milky Way, in the Sagittarius constellation, with relatively little interstellar dust along our line of sight. It is therefore really a unique 'window' through which the astronomers can observe the Milky Way galactic Bulge, only a few degrees from the galactic center. The 'line of sight' through this 'window' passes 1800 light year nearby the Milky Way heart. This region of the sky was named after German astronomer Walter Baade

Irregular Galaxy of the Little Magellan Cloud (NGC 292) - The Small Magellanic Cloud - The galaxy of the Little Magellan Cloud is about 240,000 light years from Earth in the southern constellation of Toucan. It's one of the closest galaxies of the Lactee Way. Upstairs, the cluster of stars NGC 362. Image obtained by the 1.2m UK Schmidt telescope from Siding Spring, Australia. The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is the second nearest galaxy to the Milky Way, (the LMC being the nearest) and is at the distance of about 240,000 light years, quite close enough for it to be resolved into individual stars on this colour picture made from plates taken on the UK Schmidt Telescope. The shape of the SMC defies description and it is therefore classified as an 'irregular' galaxy. The small globular cluster at the top of the picture is NGC 362. It is about 30,000 light years distant

This picture covers almost half a degree of sky (about the size of the full moon), but wide angle telescopes show the galaxy to be over three degrees long at its widest. Here we see only the central part of M31, the huge mass of stars that are in orbit around its nucleus. Silhouetted against this starry background are tangled sheets and curtains of dust, very reminiscent of dust clouds we see in our own galaxy. This picture was made from three black and white glass negatives. Some care has been taken to ensure that the colours seen here are realistic

Andromeda is the nearest major galaxy to our own Milky Way Galaxy. Our Galaxy is thought to look much like Andromeda. Together these two galaxies dominate the Local Group of galaxies. The diffuse light from Andromeda is caused by the hundreds of billions of stars that compose it. The several distinct stars that surround Andromeda's image are actually stars in our Galaxy that are well in front of the background object. M31 is so distant it takes about two million years for light to reach us from there. Much about M31 remains unknown, including how the center acquired two nuclei

Irregular Galaxy of the Little Magellan Cloud (NGC 292) - The Small Magellanic Cloud - The galaxy of the Little Magellan Cloud is about 240,000 light years from Earth in the southern constellation of Toucan. It's one of the closest galaxies of the Lactee Way. Two globular clusters are visible in this image, on the right the Toucan cluster, at the top of the galaxy the NGC 362 cluster. Image obtained by the 1.2m UK Schmidt telescope from Siding Spring, Australia. The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is the second nearest galaxy to the Milky Way, (the LMC being the nearest) and is at the distance of about 240,000 light years, quite close enough for it to be resolved into individual stars on this colour picture made from plates taken on the UK Schmidt Telescope. The shape of the SMC defies description and it is therefore classified as an 'irregular' galaxy. The large globular cluster at right is 47 Tucanae, while a smaller one at the top of the picture is NGC 362. It is about 30,000 light yea

Like the lactee path, the Andromede galaxy belongs to the local group. This image obtained from the 2.5m Isaac Newton telescope of La Palma shows the nucleus of the galaxy. This nucleus is double, probably the vestige of a collision with another galaxy. At the heart of the nearby spiral galaxy M31 is a tiny, bright nucleus, seen to be slightly elongated on this colour picture. Hubble Space Telescope pictures show the nucleus to be a double structure, possibly the remains of the nucleus of another galaxy which has now been almost completely absorbed in M31. Around the binary nucleus swirls a huge cloud of mostly old, faint stars. This not only reveals the inner nucleus but also shows traces of dust which seem to stream into the bright central part of the galaxy.

And yet, this supernova, called SN 2004dj (middle left), resides far beyond our galaxy. Its home is in the outskirts of NGC 2403, a galaxy located 11 million light - years from Earth.

Supernova Sn 2004dj in galaxy NGC 2403 - Supernova Sn 2004dj in galaxy NGC 2403 - The supenova Sn 2004dj (visible on the left, in the middle of the picture) shines like 200 million Sun. This star is located in the galaxy NGC 2403, a galaxy 11 million years apart - light. Before exploding into a Type II supernova, the star was a star 15 times more massive than the Sun. The other bright stars visible in the image belong to our lactee path. Composite images obtained from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Subaru Telescope.
