Spiral Galaxy NGC 4921 - Galaxy Spiral NGC 4921 - Galaxy NGC 4921 photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Located in the cluster of Coma galaxies (Abell 1656) is about 320 million light years old, this spiral galaxy presents an unusual structure with poorly marked arms; some young blue stars are visible but the activity of star formation here is much less strong than in other spiral galaxies. In the background, many more distant galaxies appear. This very deep image taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows the spiral galaxy NGC 4921 along with a spectacular backdrop of more distant galaxies. The Coma Galaxy Cluster, in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices, the hair of Queen Berenice, is one of the closest very rich collections of galaxies in the nearby Universe. The cluster, also known as Abell 1656, is about 320 million light - years from Earth and contains more than 1000 members. The brightest galaxies, including NGC 4921 shown here, were discovered back in the late 18th century by William Herschel. NGC 4921 is one of the rare spirals in Coma, and a rather unusual one - - it is an example of an “anaemic spiral”” where the normal vigorous star formation that creates a spiral galaxy's familiar bright arms is much less intense

Image obtained from the 1.2m telescope of Siding Spring, Australia. Centaurus A is a most unusual galaxy, set in a rich part of the southern sky. not only are there plenty of stars here to catch the eye, but the region is rich in galaxies as well. One of the nearer galaxies, at 13 million light years away, Centaurus A is the most powerful nearby radio source and is also a copious source of X - and gamma rays as well as visible and infrared radiation

Spiral Galaxy M51 in Hunting Dogs and Supernova - The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) in Canes Venatici with SN 2005cs - The spiral galaxy M51 (NGC 5194) is located about 37 million years ago - light from Earth. This galaxy is double; two galaxies interact: the largest, NGC 5194, the smallest NGC 5195. On June 28, 2005 a supernova of type II appeared in M51; this supernova (SN 2005cs) is visible just under the nucleus, in the first arm. Image obtained with two telescopes of 50 cm and 30 cm, composite of several poses. The Whirlpool Galaxy lies approximately 31 million light years from earth. This spectacular galaxy is paired with a smaller, more distant companion whose matter is being disrupted by the larger spiral in a gravitational tug of war. Eventually, the shape of both will be altered over many more millions of years. On June 28, 2005, a new star was noticed in this galaxy. It was confirmed to be a bright supernova, one of the brightest in recent years and similar to the brightest supernova of modern times: 1987A. This rare event, SN 2005cs, is visible on the first spiral arm, directly below the nucleus, as a bright star

Robin redbreast, Erithacus rubecula. Handcoloured copperplate drawn and engraved by Edward Donovan from his own “Natural History of British Birds,” London, 1794-1819. Edward Donovan (1768-1837) was an Anglo-Irish amateur zoologist, writer, artist and engraver. He wrote and illustrated a series of volumes on birds, fish, shells and insects, opened his own museum of natural history in London, but later he fell on hard times and died penniless.

This galaxy is intermediate between a classic spiral and a barree spiral. Image obtained from the 3.9m telescope of Siding Spring, Australia. M83 is thought to be very like our own Galaxy, the Milky Way, but seen from above one of its poles and at a distance of about 15 million light years. Composed of billions of stars and huge clouds of dust and gas, this object is one of the finest examples of a spiral galaxy and shows a concentration of older, yellow stars in its central nucleus with younger, blue stars and patchy red clouds of glowing gas and dark dust lanes in the trailing spiral arms. The massive blue stars occasionally explode as supernovae; at least eight have been seen in Messier 83 in the last 70 years

Spiral Galaxy M94 in Hunting Dogs - Spiral galaxy M94 in Canes Venatici - The spiral galaxy M94 (NGC 4736) is located about 15 million years ago - light from Earth. The M94 spiral galaxy was classified as Sab because of the extreme luminosite of its central region. This galaxy has several ring zones of star formation, one of which is very active. Messier 94 (NGC 4736) is a spiral galaxy located in constellation Canes Venatici, and one of the nearer beyond our Local Group of Galaxies. M94 was classified Sab because of its extremely bright inner region. This bright circular disk is surrounded by a ring of active star - forming regions, traced by blue young star clusters

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 obtained with a 50 cm telescope, composite of several 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 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 95 million light years distant

Galaxy Centaurus A (NGC 5128) in visible and infrared - Galaxy Centaurus A in visible and infrared - The galaxy NGC 5128 is about 13 million years away - light from Earth. This an elliptical galaxy that cannibalized a small spiral galaxy. The infrared image, on the right, reveals the complex structure of the central dust strip. Images obtained on the left by Cerro Tololo's 4m telescope and on the right by the Spitzer space telescope. Centaurus A (NGC 5128) is the nearest active galaxy to Earth. Located 13 million light - years away in the southern constellation Centaurus, 'Cen A' appears to be the result of a merger - collision between a large elliptical galaxy (which has a black hole at its center) and a smaller spiral galaxy that veered too close to the larger one, resulting in the cannabalization of the small galaxy. The visible image (left) from the National Science Foundation's Blanco 4 - meter telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter - American Observatory in Chile is dominated by a bright halo of light caused by the stars in the galaxy. Many of these stars are hidden by the dense band of dust that blocks our view of their light. Infrared light is not so readily obscured by dust as visible light, so the infrared image (right) from instruments on the NASA - JPL Spitzer Space Telescope reveals the complex structure of the dust lane, and the stars and gas embedded within it
