Colliding galaxies NGC 4676 in Berenice's Hair - Colliding galaxies NGC 4676 - The galaxy NGC 4676 is located about 300 million years away - light from Earth. It is a system of two spiral galaxies that collide and eventually become one galaxy. This image was obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in April 2002. Located 300 million light - years away in the constellation Coma Berenices, the colliding galaxies have been nicknamed “” The Mice”” because of the long tails of stars and gas emanating from each galaxy. Otherwise known as NGC 4676, the pair will eventually merge into a single giant galaxy. Image obtained by the Hubble space telescope in April 2002

Centaurus A elliptical galaxy (NGC 5128) in Centaurus - The radio galaxy Centaurus A (NGC 5128) - The galaxy NGC 5128 is located about 13 million 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. Image obtained with a 35 cm telescope, 11 hours of cumulative poses. 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. As a radio galaxy it releases 1000 times the radio energy of the Milky Way in the form of large bi - directional radio lobes that extend some 800,000 light years into intergalactic space. The source of the radio emission is very compact, about 10 light days across and is believed to be a supermassive black hole in the galaxy's center with a total mass of 200 million to possibly one billion suns. As a radio galaxy, NGC 5128 belongs to the subgroup of galaxies called Active Galaxies, which include Quasars, Seyfert galaxies, Blazars and Radio Galaxies. Active galaxies are distinguished by their prodigious energy output which cannot be explained by their stellar populations and must have another source. Active galaxies have in common an “Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN)”” which is believed responsible for their prodigious energy output. Supermassive black holes are almost certainly the central engines of Active Galactic Nuclei, powering the enormous outflows of energy whi

Star Formation in Galaxy M83 - Star Birth in Spiral galaxy M83 - Close-up of star-forming zones in the arms and near the nucleus (white region on the right) of the M83 galaxy. In red appear the hydrogen clouds in which the stars are born. The new stars are concentrated in blue clusters visible by hundreds on this image. The galaxy M83 (NGC 5236) is located about 15 million light years away from Earth in the constellation Hydra. This galaxy is intermediate between a classic spiral and a barree spiral. Image obtained by the Hubble space telescope with its wide field camera 3 (WFC3) in August 2009. Nicknamed the Southern Pinwheel, M83 is undergoing more rapid star formation than our own Milky Way galaxy, especially in its nucleus. The sharp “” eye”” of the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) has captured hundreds of young star clusters, ancient swarms of globular star clusters, and hundreds of thousands of individual stars, mostly blue supergiants and red supergiants. The image, taken in August 2009, provides a close - up view of the myriad stars near the galaxy's core, the bright whitish region at far right. WFC3's broad wavelength range, from ultraviolet to near - infrared, reveals stars at different stages of evolution, allowing astronomers to dissect the galaxy's star - formation history. The newest generations of stars are forming largely in clusters on the edges of the dark dust lanes, the backbone of the spiral arms. These fledgling stars, only a few million years old, are bursting out of their dusty cocoons and producing bubbles of reddish glowing hydrogen gas. The excavated regions give a colorful “” Swiss cheese””” appearance to the spiral arm. Gradually, the young stars' fierce winds (streams of charged particles) blow away the gas, revealing bright blue star clusters. These stars are about 1 million to 10 million years old. The older populations of stars are not as blue. A bar of stars,

Spiral galaxy NGC 6744 in the constellation Peacock - Spiral galaxy NGC 6744 in Pavo - The galaxy NGC 6744 is about 25 million years away - light from Earth. This galaxy interacts with a dwarf galaxy. Image obtained with a telescope of 35 cm, 12 hours of poses. NGC 6744 is a majestic spiral galaxy in the southern constellation of Pavo. It has great similarities to the Milky Way galaxy in both form and structure. It lies at a distance of approximately 25 million Light Years. At its northern tip NGC 6744 is interacting with a dwarf companion galaxy much in the same way the Milky Way interacts with the Large Magellanic Cloud. The northernmost spiral arm is most likely being stretched and its stars and gas stripped due to tidal pull from the dwarf companion. Likewise the stars of the companion will likely be engulfed and the companion will ultimately merge with NGC 6744 at a far off future time. Image taken with 14.5”” RCOS telescope, 12 Hours of exposure

Elliptical Galaxy Centaurus A (NGC 5128) - The galaxy Centaurus A - The galaxy NGC 5128 is located about 13 million light years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Centaurus. This giant galaxy is a powerful radio source known as Centaurus A. The central dark band would be the rest of dust in a spiral galaxy smaller than the giant galaxy would have cannibalized. Centaurus A is an active galaxy whose energy comes from a supermassive black hole. Image made with an amateur instrument, a 130 mm bezel. Designated as radio source Centaurus A, NGC 5128 is one of the most peculiar galaxies in the sky. It is bisected by a dark lane that is considered the dust remnant of a smaller spiral galaxy that was cannibalized by the larger elliptical galaxy. The collision resulted in a burst of star formation. A gigantic black hole equivalent to one billion solar masses resides inside NGC 5128
