Galaxy NGC 4650A in Centaurus - Galaxy NGC 4650A in Centaurus - The polar ring galaxy NGC 4650A is located about 130 million years away from Earth. The host galaxy is surrounded by a polar ring shaped like gas and stars. This type of galaxy is rarely observed. This image was obtained by the ANTU telescope of the VLT in 1998. This is a colour photo from the VLT that shows NGC 4650A, a member of the so - called Centaurus chain of galaxies in the southern constellation of that name. NGC 4650A is a complex system that is located at a distance of about 130 million light - years. There are two main components, a lenticular - shaped galaxy (of type S0), surrounded by a knotty extended ring - like distribution of stars, dust and gas, almost perpendicular to each other. The stars in the central, structureless region and the material (stars, gas, and dust) in the outer disk rotate in two different planes that are almost perpendicular to each other. The observed motions indicate the presence of a

Galaxies M81 and M82 in the Great Bear - Galaxies M81 and M82 in Ursa major - M81 (left) is a spiral galaxy. M82 (right) an irregular galaxy. Separated for about 150,000 light years, these two galaxies belong to the galaxy cluster closest to our local group. These galaxies are approximately 12 million light years away from Earth. Image made with an amateur instrument, a 130 mm bezel. At 12 million light years distance, the nearby proximity of galaxies M81 and M82 makes them one of the most spectacular sights in the spring sky

Center of the Andromede Galaxy (M31) - Center of the Andromeda galaxy - The Andromede galaxy is located about 2 million years ago - light from Earth. 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.

Galaxy NGC 891 in Andromede - Edge - on spiral galaxy NGC 891 in Andromeda - Spiral galaxy seen by the slice located at a distance of 10 million years - light. Image made with an amateur instrument, a 130 mm bezel. NGC 891 is a classic example of an edge - on galaxy bisected by a dark lane. It is actually a spiral galaxy seen edge - on from the side, so it's spiral structure is hidden from our line of sight. Recent observations indicate that NGC 891 may actually be a barred spiral galaxy, making it an SBB galaxy according to Hubble classification type

Spiral Galaxy NGC 253 in Sculptor - Spiral galaxy NGC 253 in Sculptor - NGC 253 is the brightest galaxy of the Sculptor's group, the closest galaxy group to the Local Group. It is about 10 million light years away. Image obtained with a 50 cm telescope, composite of several poses. NGC 253 is a spectacular starburst spiral galaxy that is choked with dust. Located about 8 million light years away in the constellation of Sculptor, it is the nearest starburst galaxy to our own Milky Way galaxy. It is called a “” starburst””” galaxy because of the extremely high rate of star formation taking place in its core. Although located at a fairly low declination for northern hemisphere observers, NGC 253 is easily visible in binoculars, and is an amazing sight in a large telescope

Image obtained with the Hubble telescope - NGC 1566 is a galaxy located approximately 40 million light-years away in the constellation of Dorado (The Dolphinfish). NGC 1566 is an intermediate spiral galaxy, meaning that while it does not have a well defined bar-shaped region of stars at its centre - like barred spirals - it is not quite an unbarred spiral either (heic9902o). The small but extremely bright nucleus of NGC 1566 is clearly visible in this image, a telltale sign of its membership of the Seyfert class of galaxies.

Galaxy NGC 4027 in the Raven - Galaxy NGC 4027 in Corvus - NGC 4027 is a spiral galaxy located about 80 million years ago - light. One of his arms is more extended, probably by the presence of a nearby dwarf galaxy. Image made with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. This galaxy is of interest because of its similarity to the Large Magellanic Cloud, (LMC) our nearest extra - galactic neighbour. Like the LMC, its light comes predominantly from young stars, which are hotter than the Sun and give the galaxy a bluish colour. However, because this galaxy is over 80 million light - years distant we see only the integrated light of millions of unresolved stars, rather than the individuals we see in the LMC. NGC 4027 has a somewhat distorted appearance and an elongated spiral arm, probably due to the gravitational effect of a smaller companion galaxy, not visible in this photograph but rather obvious on a much deeper image. NGC 4027 is less than half a degree south of the Antennae interacting gala

Infrared view of the Andromeda galaxy - The Spitzer space telescope observed the Andromede spiral galaxy for over 18 hours on August 25, 2004, obtaining 11,000 different poses. Assembled in mosaic the result shows details never seen before. The brightest ring appears to be hole at the bottom right of the image; these are traces of the passage of a satellite galaxy. Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope has captured stunning infrared views of the famous Andromeda galaxy to reveal insights that were only hinted at in visible light. Spitzer's 24 - micron mosaic is the sharpest image ever taken of the dust in another spiral galaxy. This is possible because Andromeda is a close neighbor to the Milky Way at a mere 2.5 million light - years away. The Spitzer multiband imaging photometer's 24 - micron detector recorded 11,000 separate snapshots to create this new comprehensive picture.

It is about 10 million light years away. Image made with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope in 1975. A mere 10 million light years away, NGC 253 is one of the nearest spiral galaxies, a member of a small group straggling across the southern constellation of Sculptor. It appears elongated because we see it almost edge - on. This galaxy is also one of the dustiest galaxies known and much of its internal detail is hidden by obscuring matter which can be seen as dark patches against the background stars. Despite the obscuration, two spiral arms and many bluish clusters of stars can be seen around the edge of the galaxy. NGC 253 is so close to us that some of the brightest stars are apparent as individuals within the spiral arms

NGC 6814 has an extremely bright nucleus, a telltale sign that the galaxy is a Seyfert galaxy. These galaxies have very active centres that can emit strong bursts of radiation. The luminous heart of NGC 6814 is a highly variable source of X-ray radiation, causing scientists to suspect that it hosts a supermassive black hole with a mass about 18 million times that of the Sun. As NGC 6814 is a very active galaxy, many regions of ionised gas are studded along its spiral arms. In these large clouds of gas, a burst of star formation has recently taken place, forging the brilliant blue stars that are visible scattered throughout the galaxy

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
