PIX4612142: Galaxies NGC 5078 and IC 879 in Hydra - Galaxies NGC 5078 and IC 879 in Hydra - NGC 5078 is a spiral galaxy located about 95 million years ago - light. A small galaxy, IC 879, on its left, is probably interacting with it. Image obtained with a 35 cm telescope, 6 hours of poses. NGC 5078 is a lenticular (lens - shaped) galaxy crossed by a distinct dusty band which is seen against the bright background of the galaxy itself. The dust lane is warped and broadened, probably by interaction with the faint companion galaxy IC 879, which is itself distorted into an 'S' shape by the interaction. The galaxies are about 95 million light years distant. Image taken with 14.5”” RCOS telescope, 6 Hours of exposure / Bridgeman Images

PIX4612179: Centaurus A elliptical galaxy (NGC 5128) in the Centaurus - Galaxy Centaurus A (NGC 5128) - The galaxy NGC 5128 is located about 13 million years away from Earth. This Giant Galaxy is a powerful radio source known as Centaurus A. It is an active galaxy whose energy comes from a supermassive black hole. This image obtained by the Kueyen telescope of the VLT in Chile on 1 February 2000 shows the star flames that occur in the dark band of the galaxy. Centaurus A is one of the foremost examples of a radio - loud active galactic nucleus (AGN). On images obtained at optical wavelengths, thick dust layers almost completely obscure the galaxy's centre. Until 1949, NGC 5128 was thought to be a strange object in the Milky Way, but it was then identified as a powerful radio galaxy and designated Centaurus A. The distance is about 10 - 13 million light - years (3 - 4 Mpc) and the apparent visual magnitude is about 8, or 5 times too faint to be seen with the unaided eye. There is strong evidence that Centaurus A is a merger of an elliptical with a spiral galaxy, since elliptical galaxies would not have had enough dust and gas to form the young, blue stars seen along the edges of the dust lane. The core of Centaurus A is the smallest known extragalactic radio source, only 10 light - days across. A jet of high energy particles from this centre is observed in radio and X - ray images. The core probably contains a supermassive black hole with a mass of about 100 million solar masses. Image taken with Kueyen telescope (VLT) in Chile / Bridgeman Images
PIX4612191: Centaurus A Elliptical Galaxy (NGC 5128) in the Centaur - Galaxy Centaurus A - The NGC 5128 galaxy is about 11 million years away - light from Earth. This image from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) shows the star flames that occur in the dark band of the galaxy. This giant galaxy is a powerful radio source known as Centaurus A. It is an active galaxy whose energy comes from a supermassive black hole. Centaurus A, also known as NGC 5128, is well known for its dramatic dusty lanes of dark material. Hubble's observations, using its most advanced instrument, the Wide Field Camera 3, are the most detailed ever made of this galaxy. They have been combined here in a multi - wavelength image that reveals never - before - seen detail in the dusty portion of the galaxy. As well as features in the visible spectrum, this composite shows ultraviolet light from young stars, and near - infrared light, which lets us glimpse some of the detail otherwise obscured by the dust. The dark dust lane that crosses Centaurus A does not show an absence of stars, but rather a relative lack of starlight, as the opaque clouds block the visible light from reaching us. Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 has focussed on these dusty regions, which span from corner to corner in this image. Wider views from ground - based telescopes show this stripe crossing the entire galaxy. Interesting features such as the warped shape of its disc of gas and dust (outside the view) hint that at some point in the past, Centaurus A collided and merged with another galaxy. The shockwaves of this event caused hydrogen gas to coalesce and sparked intense areas of star formation, as seen in its outlying regions and in red patches visible in this Hubble close - up. The galaxy's compact nucleus contains a highly active supermassive black hole at its centre. Powerful relativistic jets release vast amounts of radio and X - ray radiation - - although these are invisi / Bridgeman Images

PIX4612223: Galaxies NGC 5078 and IC 879 in Hydra - Galaxies NGC 5078 and IC 879 in Hydra - NGC 5078 is a spiral galaxy located about 95 million years ago - light. A small galaxy, IC 879, at the bottom of the picture, is probably interacting with it. Image made with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. NGC 5078 is a lenticular (lens - shaped) galaxy crossed by a distinct dusty band which is seen against the bright background of the galaxy itself. The dust lane is warped and broadened, probably by interaction with the faint companion galaxy IC 879, which is itself distorted into an 'S' shape by the interaction. The slightly bluish colour of parts of the fainter galaxy is suggestive of star formation, probably triggered by the interaction. Encounters between galaxies such as this are common, and often lead to them merging into a single entity. It is likely that the dust lane of NGC 5078 is the remnant of a dusty spiral which fell into it long ago. The galaxies are about 80 million light years distant / Bridgeman Images

PIX4612337: Spiral Galaxy M51 in Hunting Dogs - Spiral galaxy M51 in Canes Venatici - The spiral galaxy M51 (NGC 5194) is located about 31 million years ago - light from Earth. This galaxy is double; two galaxies interact: the largest, NGC 5194, the smallest NGC 5195. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2005. M51 (NGC 5194) is located 31 million light - years away in the constellation Canes Venatici (the Hunting Dogs). The Whirlpool's beautiful face - on view and closeness to Earth allow astronomers to study a classic spiral galaxy's structure and star - forming processes. This image of the Whirlpool Galaxy, taken in January 2005 with the Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope, illustrates a spiral galaxy's grand design, from its curving spiral arms, where young stars reside, to its yellowish central core, a home of older stars. The galaxy is nicknamed the Whirlpool because of its swirling structure / Bridgeman Images
PIX4612388: Spiral Galaxy M51 in Hunting Dogs - Spiral galaxy M51 in Canes Venatici - The spiral galaxy M51 (NGC 5194) is located about 31 million years ago - light from Earth. This galaxy is double; two galaxies interact: the largest, NGC 5194, the smallest NGC 5195. M51 (NGC 5194) is located 31 million light - years away in the constellation Canes Venatici (the Hunting Dogs). It was one of the first discoveries made by Charles Messier in 1773, and it was the first galaxy where spiral structure was observed, by Lord Rosse in 1845. A faint companion galaxy, NGC 5195, seen here below M51, is interacting with M51 / Bridgeman Images
PIX4612403: Center of the spiral galaxy M51 in Hunting Dogs - Spiral galaxy M51 in Canes Venatici - The spiral galaxy M51 (NGC 5194) is located about 31 million years away - light from Earth. This galaxy is double; two galaxies interact: the largest, NGC 5194, the smallest NGC 5195. This image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2005 shows the central region of NGC 5194 showing the star-forming zones in red. This image of the cenral area of M51 was taken with the Hubble space telescope in 2005. Located in the constellation of Canes Venatici, the “” hunting dogs””, M51 consists of the large spiral galaxy NGC 5194 and its smaller companion NGC 5195 (out of field). The reddish areas are nebulae in the galaxy in which stars are rapidly forming. M51 is approximately 31 million light years away and over 65,000 light years in diameter / Bridgeman Images

PIX4629905: Size comparison: Earth and Saturn - Saturn and the Earth compared - Saturn, the second largest planet in the solar system compared to Earth. Saturn's diameter is about nine times greater than the Earth's. If you weigh 180 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only 165 pounds at Saturn's cloud tops (despite Saturn's enormous mass, its density is so low that if you were able to stand atop Saturn's clouds, you would feel a pull of gravity slightly less than what you feel on the Earth's surface). Saturn is ten times further from the Sun than the Earth. Saturn has the honor of being the second-largest planet in the Solar System, though it has only 30% the mass of its jovian better Jupiter. Like Jupiter, Saturn is blanketed by thick clouds and is believed to have no solid surface except for a relatively small, Earth-size core of rock and metals / Bridgeman Images
