NGC 2683: спиральная галактика, видимая с ребра NGC 2683: Edge On Spiral Galaxy
5.02.2014

Does spiral galaxy NGC 2683 have a bar across its center? Being so nearly like our own barred Milky Way Galaxy, one might guess it has. Being so nearly edge-on, however, it is hard to tell.



NGC 2442: галактика в Летучей Рыбе APOD: 2020 August 4 Б NGC 2442: Galaxy in Volans
4.08.2020

Distorted galaxy NGC 2442 can be found in the southern constellation of the flying fish, (Piscis) Volans. Located about 50 million light-years away, the galaxy's two spiral arms extending from a pronounced central bar have a hook-like appearance in wide-field images.



Близкая спиральная галактика NGC 4945 Nearby Spiral Galaxy NGC 4945
21.07.2002

For such a close galaxy, NGC 4945 is easy to miss. NGC 4945 is a spiral galaxy in the Centaurus Group of galaxies, located only six times farther away than the prominent Andromeda Galaxy. The thin disk galaxy is oriented nearly edge-on, however, and shrouded in dark dust.



I Цвикки 18: дело о стареющей галактике I Zwicky 18: The Case of the Aging Galaxy
17.10.2007

How old is this galaxy? The galaxy on the left, I Zwicky 18, was once thought to be one of the youngest galaxies on record since its bright stars indicated an age of only 500 million years.



M31: галактика Туманность Андромеды M31: The Andromeda Galaxy
30.08.2015

What is the nearest major galaxy to our own Milky Way Galaxy? Andromeda. In fact, 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.



Три галактики в созвездии Дракона Three Galaxies in Draco
8.06.2001

This intriguing trio of galaxies is sometimes called the NGC 5985/Draco Group and so (quite reasonably) is located in the northern constellation Draco. From left to right are face-on spiral NGC 5985, elliptical galaxy...



NGC 134: галактика в Скульпторе Sculptor Galaxy NGC 134
4.03.2016

NGC 134 is probably not the best known spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. Still, the tantalizing island universe is a clearly a telescopic treasure in southern skies. It shares a bright core, clumpy...



Очень быстро вращающиеся спиральные галактики Spiral Galaxies Spinning Super Fast
5.11.2019

Why are these galaxies spinning so fast? If you estimated each spiral's mass by how much light it emits, their fast rotations should break them apart. The leading hypothesis as to why these galaxies don't break apart is dark matter -- mass so dark we can't see it.



Приливной хвост галактики Гамбургер The Tail of the Hamburger Galaxy
8.05.2014

Sharp telescopic views of NGC 3628 show a puffy galactic disk divided by dark dust lanes. Of course, this deep portrait of the magnificent, edge-on spiral galaxy puts some astronomers in mind of its popular moniker, the Hamburger Galaxy.



Спиральная галактика NGC 2566 от телескопа "Джеймс Вебб" APOD: 2025 May 26 Б Spiral Galaxy NGC 2566 from Webb
26.05.2025

WhatБs happening in the center of spiral galaxy NGC 2566? First, the eight rays that appear to be coming out of the center in the featured infrared image are not real Б they are diffraction spikes caused by the mechanical structure of the Webb space telescope itself.
