PIX4615335: Volcano Arsia Mons - Arsia Mons volcano. - Arsia Mons is one of the largest known volcanoes. It rises more than 9 km above the Martian surface and its caldera extends for 110 km. Image obtained by the Mars Global Surveyor probe. Arsia Mons is one of the largest volcanoes known. This shield volcano is part of an aligned trio known as the Tharsis Montes (the others are Pavonis Mons and Ascraeus Mons). Arsia Mons is rivaled only by Olympus Mons in terms of its volume. The summit of Arsia Mons is more than 9 kilometers (5.6 miles) higher than the surrounding plains. The crater (or caldera) at the volcano summit is approximately 110 km (68 mi) across. This view of Arsia Mons was taken by the red and blue wide angle cameras of the Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) system. Bright water ice clouds (the whitish/bluish wisps) hang above the volcano, a common sight every martian afternoon in this region. Arsia Mons is located at 120* west longitude and 9* south latitude. Illumination is from the left / Bridgeman Images

PIX4608823: 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. 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. Studies of the stars around the nucleus strongly suggest that at the heart of M31 there lurks a black hole, accelerating stars close to it to abnormally high velocities. Similar effects are seen in the Milky Way, but in our galaxy the nucleus is hidden at optical wavelengths, so observations are made in the infrared and at radio wavelengths / Bridgeman Images

PIX4609055: 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 / Bridgeman Images
PIX4609096: 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 12 million light years away. Image made with the 1.5m Danish telescope of La Silla in Chile in 2009. NGC 253 is a spiral galaxy (about 12 million light years away), a member of a small group straggling across the southern constellation of Sculptor. It appears elongated because we see it almost edge - on. NGC 253 is a prototypical starburst galaxy.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. Image taken with the ESO/Danish 1.5m telescope at La Silla observatory in Chile / Bridgeman Images
