Спиральная галакатика NGC 7742 Spiral Galaxy NGC 7742
1.07.2001

This might resemble a fried egg you've had for breakfast, but it's actually much larger. In fact, ringed by blue-tinted star forming regions and faintly visible spiral arms, the yolk-yellow center of this face-on spiral galaxy, NGC 7742, is about 3,000 light-years across.



Близкая спиральная галактика NGC 4945 Nearby Spiral Galaxy NGC 4945
26.02.2022

Large spiral galaxy NGC 4945 is seen nearly edge-on in this cosmic galaxy close-up. It's almost the size of our Milky Way Galaxy. NGC 4945's own dusty disk, young blue star clusters, and pink star forming regions stand out in the colorful telescopic frame.



Спиральная галактика NGC 891 с торца Edge On Spiral Galaxy NGC 891
20.12.1998

Is our Galaxy this thin? We believe so. The Milky Way, like NGC 891 pictured above, has the width of a typical spiral galaxy. Spirals have most of their bright stars, gas, and obscuring dust in a thin disk.



Однорукавная спиральная галактика NGC 4725 One Armed Spiral Galaxy NGC 4725
16.04.2015

While most spiral galaxies, including our own Milky Way, have two or more spiral arms, NGC 4725 has only one. In this sharp color composite image, the solo spira mirabilis seems to wind from a prominent ring of bluish, newborn star clusters and red tinted star forming regions.



NGC 4414: флоккулентная спиральная галактика APOD: 2025 April 7 Б NGC 4414: A Flocculent Spiral Galaxy
7.04.2025

How much mass do flocculent spirals hide? The featured image of flocculent spiral galaxy NGC 4414 was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope to help answer this question. Flocculent spirals -- galaxies without well-defined spiral arms -- are a quite common form of galaxy, and NGC 4414 is one of the closest.



M83: спиральная галактика с перемычкой M83: A Barred Spiral Galaxy
26.09.1999

M83 is a bright spiral galaxy that can be found with a small telescope in the constellation of Hydra. It takes light about 15 million years to reach us from M83. M83 is quite a typical spiral - much like our own Milky Way Galaxy.



Спиральная галактика NGC 7742 Spiral Galaxy NGC 7742
26.07.2003

This might resemble a fried egg you've had for breakfast, but it's actually much larger. In fact, ringed by blue-tinted star forming regions and faintly visible spiral arms, the yolk-yellow center of this face-on spiral galaxy, NGC 7742, is about 3,000 light-years across.



Пересеченная спиральная галактика NGC 2903 Barred Spiral Galaxy NGC 2903
21.03.2001

NGC 2903 is a spiral galaxy similar to our own Milky Way Galaxy. Similarities include its general size and a central bar. One striking difference, however, is the appearance of mysterious hot spots in NGC 2903's core. Upon



NGC 6814: галактика с регулярным спиральным узором от телескопа им.Хаббла APOD: 2020 August 16 Б NGC 6814: Grand Design Spiral Galaxy from Hubble
16.08.2020

In the center of this serene stellar swirl is likely a harrowing black-hole beast. The surrounding swirl sweeps around billions of stars which are highlighted by the brightest and bluest. The breadth and beauty of the display give the swirl the designation of a grand design spiral galaxy.



Кольца и перемычка в спиральной галактике NGC 1398 APOD: 2023 July 12 Б Rings and Bar of Spiral Galaxy NGC 1398
12.07.2023

Why do some spiral galaxies have a ring around the center? Spiral galaxy NGC 1398 not only has a ring of pearly stars, gas and dust around its center, but a bar of stars and gas across its center, and spiral arms that appear like ribbons farther out.
