La Colonne Vendome, Place Vendome, the night in Paris. Today's square dates back to 1699 and was designed by Jules Hardouin Mansart (1646-1708). And it was only with the piercing of the Rue de la Paix that the Vendome Column was erected in 1806 by Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) to the glory of the victors of Austerlitz (1805). An admirer of Roman Antiquity, the Emperor took as model the Trajane column raised in Rome and had his statue erected as an imperator by Antoine Chaudet (1763-1810). After the regime changes, Napoleon III (1808-1873) installed a copy of the statue of the Emperor by Augustine Dumont (1801-1884).

Center of the Andromede Galaxy (M31) - Center of the Andromeda galaxy - The Andromede galaxy is located about 2 million years ago - light from Earth. Two satellite galaxies accompany it: M32 (NGC 221) on the left and M110 (NGC 205) (off-field). Like the lactee path, the Andromede galaxy belongs to the local group, making up about thirty galaxies. Andromeda is the nearest major galaxy to our own Milky Way Galaxy. Our Galaxy is thought to look much like Andromeda. Together these two galaxies dominate the Local Group of galaxies. The diffuse light from Andromeda is caused by the hundreds of billions of stars that compose it. The several distinct stars that surround Andromeda's image are actually stars in our Galaxy that are well in front of the background object. M31 is so distant it takes about two million years for light to reach us from there. Much about M31 remains unknown, including how the center acquired two nuclei

Image made with an amateur instrument, a 130 mm bezel. It has a slightly irregular shape on one end where the spiral arm has a hollowed out appearance on long - exposure photographs. It is located about 5 degrees north of its famous neighbor in Sculptor, Galaxy NGC 253. It is about the same size as NGC 253, but two magnitudes fainter. Both galaxies are fairly close to us at 8 - 12 million light years

Spiral Galaxy NGC 247 in the Whale - Spiral galaxy NGC 247 in Cetus - Dwarf spiral galaxy in the Whale, located about 11 million years ago - light from Earth. Image obtained with the 2.2 meter MPG/ESO telescope at the La Silla Observatory. The spiral galaxy NGC 247 is one of the closest spiral galaxies of the southern sky. In this view from the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2 - metre telescope in Chile large numbers of the galaxy's component stars are clearly resolved and many glowing pink clouds of hydrogen, marking regions of active star formation, can be made out in the loose and ragged spiral arms. NGC 247 is part of the Sculptor Group. This is the nearest group of galaxies to our Local Group, which includes the Milky Way, but putting a precise value on such celestial distances is inherently difficult. Astronomers have reported that NGC 247 is more than a million light - years closer to the Milky Way than was previously thought, bringing its distance down to just over 11 million light - years
