Galaxy Cluster CL2244 - 02 - Galaxy Cluster CL2244 - 02 with gravitational arcs - Galaxy cluster CL2244 - 02 seen with the VLT in Chile. A gravitational mirage is visible in the form of an arc; it is the image of an even farther away galaxy curved and amplified by the gravite of this cluster. Colour composite image of the galaxy cluster CL2244 - 02 (redshift z = 0.3), obtained with the VLT Test Camera at the UT1 Nasmyth Focus.In addition to the prominent blue arc, produced by gravitational lensing of a galaxy at redshift z = 2.24, there are also notable, very red arcs, both closer to the centre and further out. They were only detected in the infrared image and are probably due to lensing of a much more distant galaxy

Galaxy clusters 1ES 0657 - 55 in the Carene - Gravitational lens in galaxy cluster 1ES 0657 - 55 - False color image of the distant galaxy cluster 1ES 0657 - 55 in the southern constellation of Carene obtained by the VLT. A gravitational mirage is visible in the form of a green arc at the top right of the image; it is the image of an even farther away galaxy curved and amplified by the gravity of this cluster. An Arc at z = 3.23 in galaxy cluster 1ES 0657 - 55. The galaxy cluster 1ES 0657 - 55 is located in the southern constellation Carina (The Keel), south of the Milky Way band. Its redshift has been measured as z = 0.29. It is a source of strong and very hot X - ray emission and has an asymmetric galaxy distribution, indicating a large mass and recent formation

Galaxy cluster MACS J0717.5+3745 - Galaxy cluster MACS J0717.5+3745 - View of the galaxy cluster MACS J0717.5+3745 visible. This cluster located approximately 5.4 billion years ago - light from the Earth in the constellation of the Coach, is the result of the collision of three clusters of galaxies. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. This picture shows a region where three galaxy clusters are merging and releasing enormous amounts of energy in the form of X - rays.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope usually works as a solo artist to capture awe - inspiring images of the distant Universe. For this picture, though, Hubble had a helping hand from the subject of the image, a galaxy cluster called LCDCS - 0829, as the huge mass of the galaxies in the cluster acted like a giant magnifying glass. This strange effect is called gravitational lensing. The object was discovered during the Las Campanas Distant Clusters Survey, which explains the cluster's unusual name. This survey was carried out in March 1995 using a 1 - metre telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile.

Galaxy UGC 10214 in the Dragon - Galaxy UGC 10214 in Draco - The galaxy UGC 10214 is about 420 million years away - light from Earth. The shape of this galaxy is due to a collision with another galaxy, the small galaxy, blue, visible in the upper left corner of the image. Powerful gravitational forces are responsible for the formation of the tail, consisting of stars of dust and gas, which stretches over nearly 28,000 light years and is composed of recently formed and extremely bright blue stars. In the background, more than 6000 galaxies are visible, some more than 12 billion years apart - light. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in April 2002. This picture of the galaxy UGC 10214 was taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), which was installed aboard Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope in March during Servicing Mission 3B.

Galaxy cluster Abell 2667 - Galaxy cluster Abell 2667 - In this image of the galaxy cluster Abell 2667, a spiral galaxy, at the top left of the image, seems to leave a trail of gas and stars in its wake. Attracted by the high gravity of Abell 2667, this “galaxy - comete” plunges into the cluster at a speed of 3.5 million km/h, losing its gas and young stars. This phenomene may explain the presence of isolated stars in the centre of galaxy clusters. On the right, a further galaxy appears as a gravitational arc. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in October 2001. The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, in collaboration with several other ground - and space - based telescopes, has captured a galaxy being ripped apart by a galaxy cluster's gravitational field and harsh environment. The finding sheds light on the mysterious process by which gas - rich spiral - shaped galaxies might evolve into gas - poor irregular - or elliptical - shaped galaxies over billions of years.

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.

As punishment for her mother's arrogance she was chained to a rock as a sacrifece to Cetus, then rescued by Perseus whom she subsequently married. The modern constellation is the 19th largest in the sky and covers about 720 square degrees but is not very obvious. The three brightest stars of Andromeda form a broad arc south of the distinctive 'W' of Cassiopeia, and under a dark sky the elongated shape of M32 is just visible to the unaided eye.

Cometary Globule CG4 dans la Puppe - Grand Champ - CG4 a cometary globule in Puppis - Wide field - Cometary cells are small clouds of isolated gases. This one, called CG4 (left middle of the image), is located about 1300 light years away in the constellation Pupus. Its head is 1.5 years light and its tail extends for 8 years. This cloud is a star-forming region. A spiral galaxy seen by the slice (ESO 257 - 19) is visible to the left of the blood cell. It is located 100 million years later. At the bottom left of the image, another galaxy is visible, NGC 2427. This region of the southern sky has numerous colorful faint gaseous nebulae that are very difficult to image due to thier very low surface brightness. CG4 is a ruptured cometary globule that appears to be ready to “” eat””” the distant galaxy ESO257 - 019. In fact, these two objects are very far apart; ESO257 - 019 being more than 100 million light years further away than CG4. Cometary blood cells are isolated, relatively small clo

Irregular Galaxy M82 in the Great Bear - The irregular galaxy M82 in Ursa Major - M82 is an irregular galaxy distant about 12 million years - light of the Earth. Its nucleus, which appears to have suffered from the passage of the neighbouring galaxy M81, is in a phase of violent star activity. Its central regions visible on this image obtained by the space telescope are rich in star formation. These hot stars blow a stellar wind that becomes a very violent galactic wind. Located 12 million light - years away, M82 appears high in the northern spring sky in the direction of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. It is also called the “” Cigar Galaxy”” because of the elliptical shape produced by the oblique tilt of its starry disk relative to our line of sight. This image is a six - image composite mosaic obtained with the Hubble space telescope in March 2006

Spiral Galaxy M31 in Andromede - Detail - The southern arm of the Andromeda galaxy, M31 - View of the southern arm of the Andromede galaxy. Visible to the naked eye, the Andromede galaxy is located about 2 million years away from Earth. In this image obtained in La Palma, one of its two satellite galaxies is visible to the north-east: M32 (NGC 221). Also visible is the star cloud NGC 206, low centre, one of the largest star formations regions of our local group. Like the lactee path, the Andromede galaxy belongs to the local group, which consists of about thirty galaxies. M31 is the finest and nearest large spiral galaxy in the sky, about 2 million light years away. Despite its distance it can be seen as an elongated streak with the unaided eye in northern skies and in a large telescope under good conditions it is clearly resolved into stars and star - forming regions. This picture shows less than half the galaxy but the spiral structure, star clouds and dust lanes are evident. Also he
