Centaurus A elliptical galaxy (NGC 5128) in Centaurus - Galaxy Centaurus A (NGC 5128) - The galaxy NGC 5128 is located about 13 million light years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Centaurus. 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. The green dot visible in the dust strip is a supernova, the supernova 1986g. It appears green because the red filter image that made this trichromy image was only taken a year after the event and the supernova had weakened. Image obtained from the 3.9m telescope of Siding Spring, Australia. Centaurus A is a most unusual galaxy. The circular, uniformly bright portion is composed of several thousand million stars, most of them old and yellowish. The galaxy is girded by a dense dust lane which obscures and reddens the light of stars behind it. Some

Its asymmetrical shape suggests that a galaxy interacts with it. Image made with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. This unusual barred spiral galaxy is in the far southern constellation of Volans and was discovered by Sir John Herschel who described one of its spiral arms as hook - like. Although not seen here, (but evident on very deep images) NGC 2442 appears to have a less massive, distant companion that is also distorted, and it seems likely that the two have had a close encounter in the recent past. If there are no further meetings, the forces that hold NGC 2442 together will restore galaxy to a more symmetrical spiral form. However, much more likely is that the companion has been captured by the distorted spiral and will eventually be devoured by it, triggering a dramatic bout of star formation. NGC 2442 is about

Galaxies NGC 3718 and NGC 3729 in the Great Bear - Galaxies NGC 3718 and NGC 3729 in Ursa Major - NGC 3718 is a special galaxy located about 42 million years ago - light from Earth in the constellation of the Great Bear. It's an active nucleus galaxy. Its tormented shape is probably due to the attraction exerted by another galaxy, NGC 3729, visible to its left. To the south, Arp 322 (or Hickson 56), is a group of 5 galaxies far farther away, located about 300 million light years away from Earth. NGC 3718 and its companion NGC 3729 (left) are physically related members of the Ursa Major galaxy cluster.

Barree spiral galaxy NGC 1559 and supernova - Barred spiral galaxy NGC 1559 with a supernova - The galaxy NGC 1559 is a galaxy of Seyfert located about 50 million years ago - light in the constellation Reticule. In this image obtained in 2005 by the Kueyen European telescope of the VLT in Chile, a bright star is visible just above the galaxy, a supernova of type Ia named SN 2005df. On the night of August 4, 2005, an amateur astronomer and supernovae discoverer Reverend Robert Evans discovered a supernova just North of this galaxy. This supernova is classified as a somewhat unusual type Ia supernova, caught probably 10 days before it reached its maximum brightness. Such a supernova is thought to be the result of the explosion of a small and dense star - a white dwarf - inside a binary system. As its companion was continuously spilling matter onto the white dwarf, the white dwarf reached a critical mass, leading to a fatal instability. NGC 1559 is a SBc (s) - type spiral galaxy located a

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 Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. This is one of many peculiar galaxies that populate the large southern constellation of Centaurus. This remarkable spiral galaxy seen almost edge - on, and the spiral structure is chaotic and difficult to discern. In part this is because the galaxy is itself extremely dusty, and it is seen through dust in the Milky Way. These effects together account for its yellowish hue, though patches of bluish stars can be seen. The dust in NGC 4945 absorbs most of the visible light, especially the blue light from the numerous bright stars known present within the galaxy. This energy is re - radiated at infrared wavelengths, which penetrate dust more readily, which is why the galaxy is found to be unusually bright in the infrared

Barree spiral galaxy NGC 4394 in Berenice's Hair - Barred spiral galaxy NGC 4394 in Coma Berenices: NGC 4394 is a barree spiral galaxy located in the Virgin's cluster about 55 million light years from Earth. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) - Discovered in 1784 by the German-British astronomer William Herschel, NGC 4394 is a barred spiral galaxy situated about 55 million light-years from Earth. The galaxy lies in the constellation of Coma Berenices (Berenice's Hair), and is considered to be a member of the Virgo Cluster. NGC 4394 is the archetypal barred spiral galaxy, with bright spiral arms emerging from the ends of a bar that cuts through the galaxy's central bulge. These arms are peppered with young blue stars, dark filaments of cosmic dust, and bright, fuzzy regions of active star formation. At the centre of NGC 4394 lies a region of ionised gas known as a LINER. Liners are active regions that display a characteristic set of emission lines in their spectra- mostl
