Spiral Galaxy M94 in Hunting Dogs - Spiral galaxy M94 in Canes Venatici - The spiral galaxy M94 (NGC 4736) is located about 15 million years ago - light from Earth. The M94 spiral galaxy was classified as Sab because of the extreme luminosite of its central region. This galaxy has several ring zones of star formation, one of which is very active. Image obtained with a 50 cm telescope, composite of several poses. M94 is a spiral galaxy located 15 million light - year away. Several active regions of star formation have been identified there

NGC 6814 has an extremely bright nucleus, a telltale sign that the galaxy is a Seyfert galaxy. These galaxies have very active centres that can emit strong bursts of radiation. The luminous heart of NGC 6814 is a highly variable source of X-ray radiation, causing scientists to suspect that it hosts a supermassive black hole with a mass about 18 million times that of the Sun. As NGC 6814 is a very active galaxy, many regions of ionised gas are studded along its spiral arms.

A broad dark band crosses it in the middle, a probable vestige of a collision with a spiral galaxy. This giant galaxy is a powerful radio source known as Centaurus A. It is an active galaxy whose energy comes from a supermassive black hole. - NGC 5128 is the nearest large elliptical galaxies to our sun at about 13 million light years. It is also the nearest of the giant radio galaxies, possessing an active galactic nucleus (AGN) and optically one of the most luminous galaxies in the sky. In 1949, NGC 5128 was found to be a loud source of radio energy, in fact the loudest radio source in its region of the sky (second overall to Cygnus A), earning it the designation Centarus A.

Centaurus A Elliptical Galaxy (NGC 5128) in the Centaur - Galaxy Centaurus A - The NGC 5128 galaxy is about 13 million years away - light from Earth. This image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1998 shows the star flames that occur in the dark band of the galaxy. In blue, these are the clusters of newly shaped young stars. At the top left, a photo of the galaxy obtained from the ground. This giant galaxy is a powerful radio source known as Centaurus A. It is an active galaxy whose energy comes from a supermassive black hole. NGC 5128 is the nearest large elliptical galaxies to our sun. It is also the nearest of the giant radio galaxies, possessing an active galactic nucleus (AGN) and optically one of the most luminous galaxies in the sky. Among many other things NGC 5128 is also the prototypical postmerger elliptical galaxy. Structural peculiarities including the prominent rotating disk of stars and gas and the complex shell structure of its halo point to a large scale merger

Barree spiral galaxy NGC 4945 in Centaurus - Barred spiral galaxy NGC 4945 in Centaurus - The barree spiral galaxy NGC 4945 is located about 13 million years away - light from Earth. This image was obtained by the 2,2m MPG telescope in La Silla in 1999. NGC 4945 is a barred 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, and shrouded in dark dust. NGC 4945 is thought to be quite similar to our own Milky Way Galaxy. X - ray observations reveal, however, that NGC 4945 has an unusual, energetic, Seyfert 2 nucleus that might house a large black hole. Image obtained by the 2.2m MPG telescope at La Silla observatory

Persee Galaxy Cluster - Galaxy cluster in Perseus - The Persee galaxy cluster (Abell 426) contains at least 500 galaxies including the large elliptical galaxy NGC 1275. This galaxy (the largest to the lower left of the image) is located about 235 million years ago - light; it is a very strong source of radio wave transmission. Image obtained with a 400 mm telescope through several filters and composite. More than 4 hours of installation. The Perseus galaxy cluster (Abell 426) is a rich cluster containing over 500 members centered on the large elliptical galaxy NGC 1275 (bottom left). Also known as Perseus A, NGC 1275 is an extremely powerful radio source

Seyfert's Sextet Group of Galaxies in the Snake - Seyfert's Sextet group of galaxies - This group of interacting galaxies resides approximately 190 million years ago - light in the constellation of the Snake and extends over 100,000 years - light. The small spiral galaxy seen from the front does not belong to this group. The small face - on spiral with the prominent arms [center] of gas and stars is a background galaxy almost five times farther away than the other four. Only a chance alignment makes it appear as if it is part of the group. The sixth member of the sextet isn't a galaxy at all but a long “” tidal tail””” of stars [below, right] torn from one of the galaxies. The group resides 190 million light - years away in the constellation Serpens. This densely packed grouping spans just 100,000 light - years, occupying less volume than the Milky Way galaxy. Each galaxy is about 35,000 light - years wide. Three of the galaxies [the elliptical galaxy, second from top, and the two spir
