Spiral galaxy M33 in the Triangle - Spiral galaxy M33 in Triangulum - M33, (NGC 598), the galaxy of the Triangle, is located about 2 million years ago - light from Earth. It belongs to the local group, just like our galaxy or Andromede galaxy. This image is a composite of two black and white images obtained from the 1.2m telescope of Mount Palomar, California. Spiral galaxy M33 is a mid - sized member of our Local Group of Galaxies. M33 is also called the Triangulum Galaxy for the constellation in which it resides. About four times smaller (in radius) than our Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), it is much larger than the many of the local dwarf spheroidal galaxies. M33's proximity to M31 causes it to be thought by some to be a satellite galaxy of this more massive galaxy. M33's proximity to our Milky Way Galaxy causes it to appear more than twice the angular size of the Full Moon, and be visible with a good pair of binoculars. <BR>This image is a composite from black and

Nebula IC 1318 in the Swan - IC 1318 Butterfly nebula in Cygnus - IC 1318 is a very large emission nebula that surrounds the supergiant star Gamma Cygni (Sadr), visible towards the middle of the image. LDN 889 is a vast region of dark nebulae that separates the nebula on the left from Sadr. On the extreme right, another dark nebula, B343. Image obtained by the Oschin telescope of Mount Palomar through several filters and composed. Supergiant star Gamma Cygni lies at the center of the Northern Cross, famous asterism in the constellation Cygnus the Swan. Known by the proper name Sadr, the bright star also lies at the center of this gorgeous skyscape, featuring a complex of stars, dust clouds, and glowing nebulae along the plane of our Milky Way galaxy. The field of view spans over 4 degrees (eight Full Moons) on the sky and includes emission nebula IC 1318 and open star cluster NGC 6910. Left of Gamma Cyg and shaped like two glowing cosmic wings divided by a long dark dust lane, IC 1318'

Hubble Nebula (NGC 2261) in Unicorn - NGC 2261, Hubble's variable nebula - The Hubble Nebula is a weak nebulosite that surrounds the star R Monocerotis (R Mon), the bright star at the bottom of the nebula. The mass of the star R Mon is about 10 times that of the sun. It is approximately 2600 light years away and is only 300,000 years old. Image obtained by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. Hubble's variable nebula is in Monoceros and was the first object to be photographed with the famous 200 inch Hale Telescope at Palomar in 1948. This curious object is a reflection nebula in which is embedded the star R Monocerotis. Variations in the appearance of the nebula were noted by the American astronomer Edwin Hubble in 1916. They are probably caused by opaque clouds of dust passing between the hidden star and the outskirts of the nebula we see, the moving shadows changing the apparent form of the glowing dust in an irregular way. This picture was made from three AAT plates taken over several y

Open cluster of Pleiades - Open cluster of Pleiades - The north is at top. The Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, is one of the brightest and famous star clusters visible in the northern hemisphere. It consists of about 500 bright, hot, young stars that were all born at the same time between 75 and 150 million years ago within a large cloud of dust and gas. The cluster contains many stars, of which only a handful are commonly visible to the naked eye. The blue haze that accompanies them is due to very fine dust which still remains and preferentially reflects the blue light from the stars. This star cluster lies some 440 light years away from the Earth, in the constellation of Taurus. This image is based on data acquired by the Oschin Telescope at the Mount Palomar Observatory

Nebulae North America (NGC7000) and Pelican (IC 5070) in the swan - The north is at top. The North America nebula (left) is named because recall the shape of the American continent. The smaller Pelican nebula (IC 5067/70) is at right. These nebulae are certainly part of the same complex of hydrogen gas and dust that is crossed by a dark nebula (called LDN935) in the foreground. The distance to these nebulae is uncertain, although it is commonly accepted they lie at about 1600 light years from our Sun. It is also unknown which star ionises the nebulae and causes them to glow. This nebular complex is found in the Cygnus constellation, just west of the bright star Deneb.

The dwarf planet Eris - Illustration - Dwarf planet Eris - Artwork - Artist's view of the dwarf planet Eris and its satellite Dysnomia. Eris is about three times more distant from the Sun than Pluto. The dwarf planet, formerly known as 2003 UB313 (or Xena), is now called Eris, after the Greek goddess of discord and strife. This artist's concept shows the planet catalogued as 2003 UB313 with its moon Dysnomia. Our Sun can be seen in the distance. The new planet, which is yet to be formally named, is at least as big as Pluto and about three times farther away from the Sun than Pluto. It is very cold and dark. The planet was discovered by the Samuel Oschin Telescope at the Palomar Observatory near San Diego, Calif., on Jan. 8, 2005

Nebula NGC 7635 in Cassiopee - North is at top. Seemingly adrift in a cosmic sea of stars and glowing gas, the delicate, floating apparition near the center (next to a blue tinted star) of this widefield view is cataloged as NGC 7635 - The Bubble Nebula. A mere 10 light - years wide, the tiny Bubble Nebula and the larger complex of interstellar gas and dust clouds are found about 11,000 light - years distant, straddling the boundary between the parental constellations Cepheus and Cassiopeia. Also included in the vista is open star cluster M52 (upper left), some 5,000 light - years away. The image spans about 2.7 degrees on the sky corresponding to a width of just over 500 light - years at the estimated distance of the Bubble Nebula. This image is based on data acquired by the Oschin Telescope at the Mount Palomar Observatory

Star Deneb and Nebulae in the Swan - Deneb and the nebular complex of Sh2 - 112 and Sh2 - 115 in Cygnus North is at top. Deneb is the brightest star in the constellation Cygnus and one of the brightest stars in the night sky, with apparent magnitude 1.25. Deneb's absolute magnitude is - 8.73, placing it among the most luminous stars known. Deneb's exact distance from the Earth is a matter of some dispute; figures from 1600 to 3200 light years appear on various online sources. Estimates for Deneb's luminosity range from about 60,000 to 250,000 times the Sun's brightness. At the distance of Sirius it would be brighter than a full moon. In the image is also visible the nebular complexes called Sh2 - 115 (above) and Sh2 - 112 (below), and Abell 71 visible as a tiny bubble in upper right corner. This image is based on data acquired by the Oschin Telescope at the Mount Palomar Observatory

Nebulae IC 1848 and IC 1805 in Cassiopee - The north is at top. IC1848 nebula and the star cluster embedded in it are located just 4 degrees north of h Persei, one of the two members of the famous Double Cluster. The same nebula also hosts Collinder 33 (Cr33) and Collinder 34 (Cr34) star clusters. The faint nebulae IC1871 and Sh2 - 198 are just near the IC1848. Just one and a half degree north - west from IC1848 is located the IC1805 complex. This rich but faint nebular complex resides 5* NNE of the Double Cluster in Perseus. The largest and very diffuse part of it, IC1805, contains large and bright star cluster Melotte 15 at its center. Other star clusters (NGC1027, Berkeley 65 and Markarian 6) are located around its edges. The brightest part of IC1805 complex consists of nebulae IC1795 and NGC896 which together are intersected by narrow NW to SE streaks of dust. Also the two Maffei galaxies are included in this view at bottom center. This image is based on data acquired by the Oschin
