Lenticular galaxy NGC 4710 in Berenice's Hair - Lenticular galaxy NGC 4710 in Coma Berenices - The galaxy NGC 4710 is located about 60 million years ago - light from Earth, in the galaxy cluster of Our Lady. It's a lenticular galaxy seen from the slice. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. Edge - on galaxy located at about 60 million light years away. NGC 4710 is a member of the giant Virgo Cluster of galaxies and lies in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices (the Hair of Queen Berenice). It is not one of the brightest members of the cluster, but can easily be seen as a dim elongated smudge on a dark night with a medium - sized amateur telescope. In the 1780s, William Herschel discovered the galaxy and noted it simply as a “” faint nebula””. It is an example of a lenticular or S0 - type galaxy - a type that seems to have some characteristics of both spiral and elliptical galaxies. Image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope

Barree spiral galaxy NGC 6872 in interaction with IC 4970 in the Peacock - Barred spiral interacting galaxy NGC 6872 in Pavo - The barree spiral galaxy NGC 6872 and lenticular IC 4970 are located about 300 million years away - light from Earth. NGC 6872 extends over nearly 750,000 years - light. Image obtained by the ANTU telescope of the VLT on March 29, 1999. View of the spectacular barred spiral galaxy NGC 6872 obtained with FORS1 at ANTU telescope (VLT) in the morning of March 29, 1999. It is of type SBB and is accompanied by a smaller, interacting galaxy, IC 4970 of type S0 (just above the centre). The bright object to the lower right of the galaxies is a star in the Milky Way whose image has been strongly overexposed and exhibits multiple optical reflections in the telescope and instrument. There are also many other, fainter and more distant galaxies of many different forms in the field. The upper left spiral arm of NGC 6872 is significantly disturbed and is populated by a pletho

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

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 made with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. 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 80 million light years distant

The Virgin's cluster is located about 70 million light years away from Earth and contains nearly 2000 galaxies. This photo shows the heart of the Virgo cluster of galaxies. 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. It is the center of our local supercluster of galaxies which includes members of our local group, the Milky Way (our own galaxy), M31, M32, M110, M33, the Magellanic clouds, and others. Markarian's Chain of galaxies is to the upper right, including giant elliptical galaxies M86 and M84. M87 is another giant elliptical galaxy at lower left in the photo. Also called Virgo A, this galaxy contains nearly 3 trillion solar masses. It lies at a distance of 60 million light

Galaxy NGC 4650A in Centaurus - Galaxy NGC 4650A in Centaurus - The polar ring galaxy NGC 4650A is located about 130 million years away from Earth. The host galaxy is surrounded by a polar ring shaped like gas and stars. This type of galaxy is rarely observed. This image was obtained by the ANTU telescope of the VLT in 1998. This is a colour photo from the VLT that shows NGC 4650A, a member of the so - called Centaurus chain of galaxies in the southern constellation of that name. NGC 4650A is a complex system that is located at a distance of about 130 million light - years. There are two main components, a lenticular - shaped galaxy (of type S0), surrounded by a knotty extended ring - like distribution of stars, dust and gas, almost perpendicular to each other. The stars in the central, structureless region and the material (stars, gas, and dust) in the outer disk rotate in two different planes that are almost perpendicular to each other. The observed motions indicate the presence of a

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 ligh
