PIX4569806: Comete Hale - Bopp and clusters open M34 - 04/1997 - Comet Hale - Bopp with open cluster M34 - This is the beautiful Comet Hale - Bopp as it as it passed by (from our point of view) the star cluster M34 in April of 1997. The solid portion or nucleus of the comet is made up of ice, frozen gases, dust and small rock. Compared to most comets Hale - Bopp is very large - about 35 kilometers in diameter. As its orbit brought it closer to the sun, the frozen mass began to melt and a coma, which is a gaseous cloud, developed around the nucleus. This coma has grown to be hundreds of thousands of miles in diameter. Finally the tail developed which became millions of miles long.

PIX4568504: Star cluster NGC 6791 in Lyra - Open cluster NGC 6791 in Lyra - NGC 6791 is one of the oldest and largest open clusters; it contains about 10,000 stars. Here, a detail of the cluster obtained by the Hubble space telescope. The stars present would be 8 billion years old. A galaxy in the background is also visible at the top left. NGC 6791 is one of the oldest and largest open clusters known, about 10 times larger than most open clusters and containing roughly 10,000 stars. The cluster is located 13 000 light years in the constellation Lyra. The full Hubble Advanced Camera for Surveys field is full of stars estimated to be 8 billion years old. Two background galaxies can be seen at upper left / Bridgeman Images

M71 is a star cluster in the constellation Sagitta at about 12000 light - years from Earth. M71 is quite small, probably only 30 or so light - years across, although there are further outlying stars whose membership in M71 is uncertain / Bridgeman Images

PIX4565399: Central part of the Virgin galaxy cluster - Heart of the Virgo cluster of galaxies - The two elliptic galaxies are at the center M86 (NGC 4406), right M84 (NGC 4374). Image obtained with a 130 mm bezel. 1h pose M86 and M84 are two giant lenticular galaxies at the heart of the Virgo cluster of galaxies. NGC 4438, a spiral galaxy at the left of the photo, appears to be distorted by an interaction with nearby NGC 4435. Located about 70 million light years away, the Virgo cluster is a gigantic collection of several thousand galaxies that dominate our local part of the universe / Bridgeman Images

PIX4565507: The Virgo cluster of galaxies - The Virgo cluster of galaxies - The Virgin cluster contains about 2000 galaxies. In the middle of the picture, the giant elliptical galaxy M87. Image obtained by the Oschin telescope of Mount Palomar through several filters and composed. Image of the central portion of the great Virgo/Coma cluster including Markarians chain. Located about 70 million light years away, The Virgo cluster is a gigantic collection of several thousand galaxies that dominate our local part of the universe.

PIX4565294: Coma cluster of galaxies Abell 1656 - Coma cluster of galaxies - The Comas cluster is a large cluster of galaxies, comprising several thousand galaxies. It is located more than 300 million light years ago in the constellation Coma Berenices (Berenice Hair). This photo from the Hubble Space Telescope shows part of the cluster of a brilliant spiral galaxy, IC 4040, in the top left, and many elliptical galaxies. Also known as Abell 1656, the Coma Cluster is over 300 million light - years away. The cluster, named after its parent constellation Coma Berenices, is near the Milky Way's north pole. This places the Coma Cluster in an area unobscured by dust and gas from the plane of the Milky Way, and easily visible by Earth viewers. This Hubble image consists of a section of the cluster that is roughly one - third of the way out from the center of the cluster. One bright spiral galaxy is visible in the upper left of the image. It is distinctly brighter and bluer than galaxies surrounding it. A series of dusty spiral arms appears reddish brown against the whiter disk of the galaxy, and gives rise to the idea that this galaxy has been disturbed at some point in the past. The other galaxies in the image are either elliptical, S0 galaxies, or background galaxies far beyond the Coma Cluster sphere / Bridgeman Images

Lower left is the elliptical galaxy M87. The nearest moderately rich cluster of galaxies lies in the direction of Virgo. The richest part of the cluster is centred on the giant elliptical - lenticular galaxies M84 (NGC 4374) (right) and M86 (NGC 4406) (left) which dominate this picture. However, the dynamical centre of the cluster is M87, to the lower left (south east) of this picture / Bridgeman Images
