TEC4611228: The Empire State building, 350 5th street in Manhattan, New York (United States). Art Deco skyscraper designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon Associates and whose construction was completed in 1930. Until the construction of the three towers of the World Trade Center, this skyscraper was the highest in New York. Since the 9/11 attack, the Empire State Building is once again the tallest building in the city. Photography 10/04/03. / Bridgeman Images
PIX4611277: Spiral Galaxy M61 in Virgo - Spiral galaxy M61 in Virgo - The spiral galaxy M61 (NGC 4303) is located about 60 million years away - light from Earth. It is one of the largest galaxies in the Virgin's cluster, measuring 100,000 years - light. The SabBC spiral galaxy M61 is one of the larger galaxies in the Virgo cluster, with a core dimension some 100 000 light - years (6 arc minutes) across, comparable to the size of our own Galaxy / Bridgeman Images
PIX4611380: Spiral Galaxy NGC 4452 - Galaxy Spiral NGC 4452 - NGC 4452 is located about 60 million light years away from Earth in the galaxy cluster of Our Lady. Seen from the Earth, this spiral galaxy is presented by the slice, leaving only the thickness of its disc visible. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has imaged a striking galaxy called NGC 4452, which appears to lie exactly edge - on as seen from Earth. The bright nucleus can be seen at the centre, along with the very thin disc that looks like a straight line from our unusual viewing position. To complete the picture, a hazy halo of stars on the periphery of the galaxy makes it seem to glow. NGC 4452 was first seen by William Herschel in 1784 with his 47 cm telescope in England. He described the object as a bright nebula, small and very much elongated. The new Hubble image shows just how elongated this unusual object really is. NGC 4452 is part of the Virgo Cluster, so - called because many of its members appear in the constellation of Virgo (the Maiden). This enormous grouping is approximately 60 million light - years distant and contains around 2000 galaxies. Large numbers of much more remote, faint galaxies, far beyond NGC 4452 and the Virgo Cluster, appear in the background of this image. This picture of NGC 4452 was created from images taken using the Wide Field Channel on Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys. This picture was made from images through blue (F475W, colored blue) and near - infrared (F850LP, colored red) filters. The exposures times were 750 s and 1210 s respectively. The field of view extends over 2.6 arcminutes / Bridgeman Images
TEC4611404: The Sony headquarters formerly AT & T building (construction 1984, architects Philip Johnson and John Burgee), 550 Madison Avenue, ÆMidtown in Manhattan, New York (USA). The Pritzker Prize was created in 1979 by Jay A. Pritzker and his wife. Decerne by the Hyat Foundation and endowed $100,000, it was awarded for the first year to American architect Philip Johnson.

PIX4611948: 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. M94 is a spiral galaxy located 15 million light - year away. Several active regions of star formation have been identified there / Bridgeman Images
PIX4611569: Spiral galaxy NGC 4565 in Berenice's Hair - Spiral galaxy NGC 4565 in Coma Berenices - The galaxy NGC 4565 is located about 30 million years ago - light from Earth. It's a spiral galaxy seen by the slice. Image obtained with a 40 cm telescope, composite of several poses. Edge - on galaxy located at about 30 million light years away. Composite image obtained with a RC 16”” telescope / Bridgeman Images
PIX4611664: Spiral galaxy of Sombrero M104 in the Virgin - The Sombrero galaxy (M104) in Virgo - The spiral galaxy M104 or NGC 4594 (Sombrero galaxy) is located between 28 and 40 million years - light. Image obtained with a telescope 61 cm in diameter. The Sombrero, named after the broad - brimmed Mexican hat it superficially resembles, is probably the most famous galaxy in the sky. The spiral galaxy is between 28 to 40 million light years distant. Image taken with a 24 - inch telescope / Bridgeman Images
PIX4619725: Nebulae M20 - M8 and NGC 6559 in Sagittarius - Nebulae M20 - M8 and NGC 6559 in Sagittarius - View of nebulae of the Lagoon (M - 8/ngc 6523), bottom, Trifide (M20), top, and NGC 6559 (left). Located in Sagittarius, these nebulae are about 5000 light years away from Earth. Composite image, 5 h pose combined with a 3 h pose in H - Alpha / Bridgeman Images
PIX4619909: Nebulae IC 1283 - 84 and NGC 6589 - 90 in Sagittarius - Starfield in Sagittarius. Nebulae IC 1283 - 84 and NGC 6589 - 90 - Star field in Sagittarius with nebulae IC 1283 - 84 and NGC 6589 - 90 and M24 in the middle of the image. The emission nebulae IC1283 - 4 are near center with the two small reflection nebulae NGC6589 - 90 nearby. The large red area in the lower right is a portion of Sh2 - 35. M24 is the dense star region right of center / Bridgeman Images
