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

PIX4610804: Lion Triplet (spiral galaxies M65 - M66 - NGC 3628) - Trio of Galaxies in Leo M65, M66, NGC 3628 - M66, with its neighbors M65 and NGC 3628, forms a remarkable triplet of galaxies, called the Lion Triplet or the M66 Group, located at a distance of about 35 million years - light. All three are spiral galaxies. Image obtained in 1998 with an amateur instrument, a 130 mm bezel. This trio of galaxies in Leo is located at a distance of about 35 million light years. M66 is at upper left, M65 is below it at lower right, and NGC 3628 is at right. All are normal spiral galaxies, but NGC 3628 is seen edge - on, with a prominent dust lane obscuring the central portion of the galaxy / Bridgeman Images

All three are spiral galaxies. This trio of galaxies in Leo is located at a distance of about 35 million light years. M66 is at upper left, M65 is below it at lower right, and NGC 3628 is at right.

PIX4610847: Spiral Galaxy M66 in the Lion - Spiral galaxy M66 in Leo - M66 (NGC 3627) is a spiral galaxy located at a distance of about 35 million years - light. M66, with its neighbors M65 and NGC 3628, forms a remarkable triplet of galaxies, called the Lion Triplet or the M66 Group. NGC 3627, also known as Messier 66, is a beautiful spiral with a well - developed central bulge. It also displays large - scale dust lanes. The galaxy forms, together with its neighbours M65 and NGC 3628, the so - called “Leo Triplet””; they are located at a distance of about 35 million light - years. M 66 is the largest of the three. Its spiral arms appear distorted and displaced above the main plane of the galaxy. The asymmetric appearance is most likely due to gravitational interaction with its neighbours / Bridgeman Images
PIX4610953: Group of Galaxies Hickson 57 in the Lion - Hickson 57 in the constellation Leo - Hickson 57 is a group of seven galaxies (NGC 3745, NGC 3746, NGC 3748, NGC 3750, NGC 3751, NGC 3753, NGC 3754) located in the constellation Lion. Hickson 57 in Leo is better known as “” Copeland's Septet””. This group consists of 7 NGC galaxies (3745, 3746, 3748, 3750, 3751, 3753, 3754) contained within a 5 'circle / Bridgeman Images
MDA4614573: Rotunda by Claude Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806) Place Stalingrad, Paris 75019. It is one of the four remains of the enclosure of the Farmers Generaux with that of the Monceau parks, Denfert Rochereau and the columns of the Trone. Built in 1786, this rotunda evokes the Rotonda de Palladio in Vicenze (Italy). This barrier served as a gendarmerie barracks from 1830 to 1860, and then as a storage room for salt. Restauree under the direction of Bernard Huet, it is now occupied by the Commission du Vieux Paris. / Bridgeman Images
