PIX4613427: The Large Magellanic Cloud - The Large Magellanic Cloud - The Great Magellan Cloud galaxy is located about 160,000 light years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Dorado. Visible with the naked eye in the southern hemishere it is one of the closest galaxies to us. It contains large star-forming zones such as the Tarantula Nebula (30 Sea bream, visible to the left), the most active star-forming regions of the local group. Image obtained by the 1.2m UK Schmidt telescope from Siding Spring, Australia. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way but less than one tenth as massive; even so it contains the equivalent of over ten billion solar masses of material in the form of stars, gas and dust. The LMC is at a distance of 160,000 light years and is visible to the unaided eye from southern latitudes, rather like a detached piece of the Milky Way. The nearness of the LMC ensures that it is well resolved into stars in quite a modest telescope, and deep photographs reveal it to be a highly complex system with large numbers of clusters, nebulae and dust clouds scattered apparently at random across the face of the galaxy. The bright red patch at the eastern end of the galaxy is the star - forming region 30 Doradus / Bridgeman Images

PIX4612975: 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. 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 / Bridgeman Images

PIX4613003: Interacting galaxies NGC 6786 and LEDA 62867 - Interacting galaxies NGC 6786 and LEDA 62867 - The galaxy NGC 6786, on the right, is about 350 million years away - light from Earth in the constellation of the Dragon. It interacts with another spiral galaxy, LEDA 62867, on the left; it will probably swallow it in the distant future. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on March 10, 2002. This Hubble image displays a beautiful pair of interacting spiral galaxies with swirling arms. The smaller of the two, dubbed LEDA 62867 and positioned to the left of the frame, seems to be safe for now, but will probably be swallowed by the larger spiral galaxy, NGC 6786 (to the right) eventually. There is already some disturbance visible in both components. The pair is number 538 in Karachentsev's Catalog of Pairs of Galaxies. A supernova was seen to explode in the large spiral in 2004. NGC 6786 is located in the constellation of Draco, the Dragon, about 350 million light - years away. Image taken by the Hubble space telescope on march 10, 2002 / Bridgeman Images

It is a system of two spiral galaxies colliding and eventually forming only one galaxy. This image was obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2007. Located 250 million light - years away in the constellation of Cancer, these colliding galaxies are in the late stages of the merging process with the centres of the original galaxy pair now merged into one nucleus.

PIX4610013: Spiral Galaxy NGC 2397 - Galaxy Spiral NGC 2397 - The galaxy NGC 2397 is a classic spiral galaxy located about 60 million years ago - light from Earth in the southern constellation of Flying Fish. The central part houses old yellow and red stars while new stars form in the outer arms. This image obtained by the space telescope on 14 October 2006 shows the brightest of these young blue stars. The 2006bc supernova, which exploded in March 2006, is also visible near the central region, while its lightning shrinking. Located nearly 60 million light - years away from Earth, the galaxy NGC 2397 is typical of most spirals, with mostly older, yellow and red stars in its central portion, while star formation continues in the outer, bluer spiral arms. The brightest of these young, blue stars can be seen individually in this high resolution view from the Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). One typical feature of this Hubble image is the view of supernova SN 2006bc taken when its brightness was on the decrease. SN 2006bc was discovered in March 2006. The images were obtained on 14 October 2006 with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) through three different colour filters (blue, green and near - infrared) / Bridgeman Images
