PIX4611595: Spiral galaxy of the Sombrero M104 infrared view - Sombrero galaxy seen in infrared - Infrared image of the spiral galaxy M104 (Sombrero galaxy), located about 28 million years ago - light, obtained with the Spitzer space telescope in 2004 and January 2005. Infrared radiation shows the dust of the disc visible throughout the circumference. A high emission also comes from the center of the galaxy where a supermassive black hole is thought to reside there. This spiral galaxy is located some 28 million light - years away. The infrared image obtained by Spitzer space telescope in 2004 and 2005 pierces through the obscuring dust, along with the bulge of stars. It shows that the disk is warped, which is often the result of a gravitational encounter with another galaxy; clumpy areas spotted in the far edges of the ring indicate young star - forming regions. Spitzer detected infrared emission not only from the ring, but from the center of the galaxy too, where there is a huge black hole, believed to be a billion times more massive than our Sun / Bridgeman Images

PIX4611992: Elliptical galaxy NGC 4881 and distant galaxies - Elliptical galaxy NGC 4881 and distant galaxies - The elliptical galaxy NGC 4881 (upper left) is about 300 million years away - light from Earth. NGC 4881 is located in the Coma galaxy cluster that contains at least 1,000 galaxies and is five times farther from us than the Virgin's cluster. Almost all the objects visible in this photo are located far behind the Coma cluster, except for the spiral galaxy to the right of Ngc 4881. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1994. This photo mosaic, which shows a field of distant galaxies, is a computer enhanced reproduction of a picture taken 4 March 1994 with the repaired Hubble Space Telescope. The brightest object in this picture is NGC 4881. It is a 13th - magnitude elliptical galaxy in the outskirts of the Coma Cluster, a great cluster of galaxies more than 5 times farther away than the Virgo Cluster. Except for a 16th - magnitude Coma spiral at the right and a few foreground stars of the Milky Way, almost everything else in this field lies far beyond the Coma Cluster. There is a fascinating assortment of background galaxies, including an apparent galaxian merger in progress / Bridgeman Images

Subject to political aleas, it was finally Napoleon (1769-1821) who entrusted Pierre Vignon (1763-1828) with the task of building an ancient temple dedicated to his military glory. Only the Restoration restored its religious vocation to the Church of Sainte Marie Madeleine in 1842, architect Charles Girault (1851-1932). / Bridgeman Images

TEC4594757: Avenue des Champs Elysees, Paris 8th arrondissement. It was Jean Baptiste (Jean-Baptiste) Colbert (1619-1683) who had Andre Le Notre (1613-1700) opened in 1667 an avenue starting from the Tuileries to reach a hill, today called L'Etoile. There's nothing left from that time. Only nineteenth century witnesses remain on the Champs Elysees. Bernard Huet was asked in 1994 to bring back the Champs Elysees in order to restore its prestige to the avenue: the cars were driven from the allees, an underground car park created, the floor covered with grey granite slabs. The promenade aspect was reinforced by the planting of a second row of plane trees and new constraints were defined for signs and windows. / Bridgeman Images

TEC4628196: Entrepots de Bercy, Paris 12th arondissement. Louis XIV (1638-1715) built the first wine warehouses in Bercy because Paris was home to one of the largest vineyards in Europe. These warehouses reached their peak in the 19th century, becoming the world's largest centre for wine and spirits trade. The activities of the warehouses began to declinate in the 20th century with the destruction of the fortifications of Thiers, 1920-1929, the success of the railway and the evolution of storage techniques. It is now Bercy Village and Bercy Park that settled on the old warehouses. The surrounding area still resonate with the memory of old activities: rue de Pommard, rue de Chablis, rue de Macon... / Bridgeman Images

PIX4609140: 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 13 million light years away. Image obtained with the 2,2m MPG/ESO telescope of La Silla. Measuring 70 000 light - years across and lying 13 million light - years away, the nearly edge - on spiral galaxy NGC 253 is revealed here in an image from the Wide Field Imager (WFI) of the MPG/ESO 2.2 m telescope at the La Silla Observatory. The image is based on data obtained through four different filters (R, V, H - alpha and OIII). North is up and East to the left. The field of view is 30 arcminutes / Bridgeman Images

PIX4609158: Spiral galaxy NGC 300 in the Sculptor - Galaxy NGC 300 in Sculptor - Located about 7 million years ago - light from Earth, the spiral galaxy NGC 300 belongs to the Sculptor's group. It appears to us as a great object in the sky since its apparent diameter is almost that of the full moon. This photo was obtained by the MPG/ESO telesope of 2.2 - m in La Silla in Chile in 2000. Located some 7 million light - years away, the spiral galaxy NGC 300 is a beautiful representative of its class, a Milky - Way - like member of the prominent Sculptor group of galaxies in the southern constellation of that name. NGC 300 is a big object in the sky - being so close, it extends over an angle of almost 25 arcmin, only slightly less than the size of the full moon. It is also relative bright, even a small pair of binoculars will unveil this magnificent spiral galaxy as a hazy glowing patch on a dark sky background. The comparatively small distance of NGC 300 and its face - on orientation provide astronomers with a wonderful opportunity to study in great detail its structure as well as its various stellar populations and interstellar medium. This image was obtained with the Wide - Field Imager (WFI) on the MPG/ESO 2.2 - m telescope at the La Silla Observatory in 2000 / Bridgeman Images
