Spiral Galaxy M31 in Andromede - Spiral galaxy M31 in Andromeda - The galaxy of Andromede is located about 2 million years ago - light from Earth. Two satellite galaxies accompany him: M32 (NGC 221) at the top, and M110 (NGC 205) at the bottom. 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. Die Andromeda - Galaxie liegt in einer Entfernung von rund 2,5 Millionen Lichtjahren. Der Durchmesser der sichtbaren Scheibe betraegt 150.

Spiral galaxy NGC 4651 in Berenice's Hair - Spiral galaxy NGC 4651 in Coma Berenices - The galaxy NGC 4651 (Arp 189) is located about 50 million years away - light from Earth. The Umbrella Galaxy (NGC 4651 or Arp 189) exhibits a jet like spear that's strikingly coherent and narrow. The structure was previously reported by Boris Vorontsov Velyaminov in 1959 but never interpreted as a stellar tidal stream. This deep image additionally shows a spectacular crescent shaped shell surrounding the east side of the star system that corresponds to the apocenter of the dwarf galaxy. Interestingly, a possible second arc on the western side of the galaxy can also be seen in this image. This feature is less obvious because it's partially hidden by the galaxy's disk and suggests we are observing a moderately inclined structure projected into the halo of NGC 4651. This image was produced by combining an hour of exposure through the Isaac Newton Telescope, located on the Spanish island of La Palma, wit

Spiral galaxy NGC 4651 in Berenice's Hair - Spiral galaxy NGC 4651 in Coma Berenices - The galaxy NGC 4651 (Arp 189) is located about 50 million years away - light from Earth. The Umbrella Galaxy (NGC 4651 or Arp 189) exhibits a jet like spear that's strikingly coherent and narrow. The structure was previously reported by Boris Vorontsov Velyaminov in 1959 but never interpreted as a stellar tidal stream. This deep image additionally shows a spectacular crescent shaped shell surrounding the east side of the star system that corresponds to the apocenter of the dwarf galaxy. Interestingly, a possible second arc on the western side of the galaxy can also be seen in this image.

Astronomers have uncovered one of the youngest galaxies in the distant universe, with stars that formed 13.5 billion years ago, a mere 200 million years after the Big Bang. The finding addresses questions about when the first galaxies arose, and how the early universe evolved. Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope was the first to spot the newfound galaxy.

The biggest (left) is NGC 1275, located 235 million light years away; it is a strong radio source known as Perseus A.

Persee Galaxy Cluster - Perseus galaxy cluster - The Persee galaxy cluster (Abell 426) contains at least 500 galaxies including the large elliptical galaxy NGC 1275. This galaxy (the galaxy with pink filaments to the left of the image) is located about 235 million years ago - light; it is a very strong source of radio wave transmission known as Perseus A.

Galaxy clusters Abell 370 - Abell 370 cluster of galaxies with gravitational arcs - This cluster contains a large number of galaxies, most of which are elliptical. A gravitational arc is visible at the bottom of the image. This is the deformed image of a galaxy farther away behind the cluster. This cluster hosts one of the most prominent gravitational arcs known to date. The light of a very remote object is deformed by the foreground cluster. Abell 370, at the center of the photo, contains a large number of galaxies - most of them are ellipticals. The two brightest red galaxies slightly above the gravitational arc are the most massive in the cluster and give an important contribution to the lensing event. This gravitational arc - in combination with the cluster of galaxies - provides a natural laboratory to study the physics of gravity. The exact shape of the arc allows to estimate the mass of the cluster through the equations of general relativity

By studying this gravitational mirage, astronomers discovered the presence of black matter around this cluster. Image obtained by the Hubble space telescope in November 2004 with the ACS camera. An international team of astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a ghostly ring of dark matter that was formed long ago during a titanic collision between two massive galaxy clusters.

Spiral galaxy NGC 6814 in the Eagle - Spiral Galaxy NGC 6814: NGC 6814 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Eagle. It is an active galaxy called Seyfert, which probably houses a black hole in its heart. Image obtained with the Hubble telescope - Spiral galaxy NGC 6814 seen by Hubble Space Telescope. 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
