PIX4589253: Constellation Belier - Aries constellation - Constellation Belier and cluster of Pleiades (in the Taurus). Although inconspicuous, Aries is one of the constellations of the zodiac and from ancient times has been represented by a ram, the same ram whose golden fleece was sought by Jason and the Argonauts in the great ship Argo Navis. For more than 2000 years it also of astronomical importance because it was the constellation where the Sun crossed the celestial equator (ecliptic) each year at the vernal equinox, marking the first point in Aries from which right ascension is measured. Precession has now carried this point into Pisces. The constellation is the 39th largest in the sky and covers about 440 square degrees. The best - known object in this field is the Pleiades star cluster (M45 in Taurus) / Bridgeman Images

PIX4589484: Constellation of Capricornus - Constellation of Capricornus - Capricornus (the Sea Goat, Capricorn to astrologers) is one of the more surprising mythical creatures projected on the sky, a male goat with the tail of a fish. However, adjoining Aquarius and Piscis Austrinus, it is in a particularly watery part of the sky. The orientation of this strange creature is set by its brightest star, Deneb Algiedi (d Cap, the Goat's tail), while Algedi (or Giedi, a Cap) simply means goat or ibex. Although it is not particularly conspicuous the constellation is of ancient lineage, predating the ancient Greeks, perhaps because in ancient times the northern Winter Solstice occured in Capricornus. Because of precession, it is now in Aquarius though the idea is preserved in the Tropic of Capricorn which is the line around the northern hemisphere globe where the Sun is directly overhead at noon in mid - winter. Best seen in the early evening in September / Bridgeman Images

His disc measures about 70,000 years - light. Also visible in this photo is the quasar Q0957+561, 9 billion years away - light. The NGC 3079 spiral galaxy is located at about 50 million light years from Earth. Its dics is approximately 70,000 light years wide.

PIX4610539: Interacting galaxies NGC 3256 - Interacting galaxies NGC 3256 - The special galaxy NGC 3256 is located about 100 million light years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Sails. A vestige of the collision of two galaxies, this system presents a double nucleus and many young clusters of stars. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on November 5, 2001. NGC 3256 is an impressive example of a peculiar galaxy that is actually the relict of a collision of two separate galaxies that took place in a distant past. The telltale signs of the collision are two extended luminous tails swirling out from the galaxy. NGC 3256 belongs to the Hydra - Centaurus supercluster complex and provides a nearby template for studying the properties of young star clusters in tidal tails. The system hides a double nucleus and a tangle of dust lanes in the central region. The tails are studded with a particularly high density of star clusters.

PIX4610672: Galaxies M95 and M96 in the Lion - Galaxies M95 and M96 in Leo - M95 (NGC 3351), on the left, is a barree spiral of type SBB, M96 (NGC 3368), on the right, is a spiral galaxy of type Sa. M96 is the brightest member of the Leo I galaxy group, which is also called the M96 group. It also contains M95, M105 and a number of weaker galaxies. Their distance to our Sun was measured with great precision thanks to the discovery of cepheides in these galaxies and the appearance of a supernova of type Ia in M96 in May 1998. These two galaxies are located 37 million light years away from Earth. M95 (NGC 3351, left), is a barred spiral galaxy, M96 (NGC 3368, right), is a spiral galaxy. With M105 (not pictured here), they are dominant members of the Leo I galactic group which also includes several fainter galaxies. Their distance from our Sun has been determinated with great precision thanks to the discovery of Cepheids stars in these galaxies and a type IA supernova in M96 appeared in May 1998. Their distance to our Sun is 37 million light - years / Bridgeman Images
