An ultra-deep image from the National Science Foundation's Dark Energy Camera reveals a wide variety of galaxies in the unusual Antlia Cluster.
Centaurus A: NGC 5128 is a galaxy in constellation Centaurus, discovered in 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop. Messier ...
This dream-like Hubble Space Telescope image features the galaxy known as NGC 3156. It is a lenticular galaxy, meaning that it falls somewhere between an elliptical and a spiral galaxy.
The S0 lenticular galaxy NGC 1266 is unremarkable when observed in optical light (left, grayscale and black contours) very much an example of a "red and dead" galaxy but becomes alive and violent ...
In the Universe around us today, galaxies come in a number of different shapes and sizes. Lenticular galaxies are sort of blobby and formless, while spiral galaxies have defined spiral arms curving ...
Hubble has captured UGC 8091, a festive bundle of lights. Located about seven million light-years away in the Virgo constellation, it’s also known as GR 8.
The Milky Way has no fewer than 157, but more globular clusters are thought to exist within the innermost regions of the galaxy which are shrouded in an obscuring veil of gas and dust. Lenticular ...
This review recaps significant results as they apply to nondwarf galaxies, including the Milky Way, spiral disks and bulges, and elliptical and lenticular galaxies. Methods for determining abundances ...
