Elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 in the Furnace - Giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 - By studying the clusters of stars and clouds of dust visible in this photo taken by the Hubble space telescope in March 2003, it is believed that the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 is the result of a collision of two spiral galaxies that occurred some billions of years ago. This galaxy resides about 75 million light years ago in the cluster of galaxies of the Furnace. Also called Fornax A, it is one of the strongest radio sources in the sky. This image made from data obtained with the NASA Hubble Space Telescope reveals the dust lanes and star clusters of this giant galaxy that give evidence that it was formed from a past merger of two gas - rich galaxies. NGC 1316 is on the outskirts of a nearby cluster of galaxies in the southern constellation of Fornax, at a distance of about 75 million light - years. It is one of the brightest ellipticals in the Fornax galaxy cluster. NGC 1316, also known as Fornax A,

Galaxies NGC 1316 and 1317 in the Furnace - Galaxies NGC 1316 and NGC 1317 in Fornax - The giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 (below) absorbed a spiral galaxy a few billion years ago. A few bands of dust visible in the centre are the traces of this feast. A spiral galaxy, NGC 1317, is visible just above it. These galaxies resident more than 60 million years ago - light in the array of galaxies of the Furnace. Also called Fornax A, NGC 1316 is one of the strongest radio sources in the sky. Image made with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. NGC 1316 - 17 are on the outskirts of a nearby cluster of galaxies in the southern constellation of Fornax, at a distance of about 60 million light years. At first glance, the optical image of these galaxies does not seem to be very unusual. However, closer inspection shows that the larger galaxy, the elliptical NGC 1316, has distinct dust lanes in its inner regions, and NGC 1317 is a strangely distorted spiral. The dust lanes strongly suggest that NGC 131

Planetary nebula NGC 1360 in the Furnace - NGC 1360, the diffuse planetary nebula in Fornax - Image obtained by Siding Spring Planetary nebulae 3.9m telescope usually have well - defined boundaries, sometimes even a shell - like structure. For reasons that are not understood, NGC 1360 defies all these conventions, yet its colour still clearly identifies it as a planetary nebula. The green hue is oxygen, excited by the hot central star, and to the north - east of the nebula is a faint red smudge, probably traces of material ejected before the star became a true planetary nebula

The dwarf galaxy of the furnace - Fornax dwarf galaxy - The dwarf galaxy of the furnace belongs to the local group, just like our galaxy or the galaxy of Andromede. The Fornax dwarf galaxy is one of our Milky Way's neighbouring dwarf galaxies. The Milky Way is, like all large galaxies, thought to have formed from smaller galaxies in the early days of the Universe. These small galaxies should also contain many very old stars, just as the Milky Way does, and a team of astronomers has now shown that this is indeed the case. This image was composed from data from the Digitized Sky Survey 2

Field of distant galaxies - Hubble eXtreme Deep Field (XDF) - Distant galaxies - Hubble eXtreme Deep Field (XDF) - Image of distant galaxies obtained in infrared by the Hubble space telescope in the constellation of the Furnace. The farthest galaxies visible in this image are 13.2 billion light years away. Called the Extreme Deep Field, or XDF, the photo was assembled by combining 10 years of NASA Hubble Space Telescope photographs taken of a patch of sky at the center of the original Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The XDF is a small fraction of the angular diameter of the full Moon. The Hubble Ultra Deep Field is an image of a small area of space in the constellation Fornax, created using Hubble Space Telescope data from 2003 and 2004. By collecting faint light over many hours of observation, it revealed thousands of galaxies, both nearby and very distant, making it the deepest image of the universe ever taken at that time. The new full - color XDF image reaches much fainter galaxies, and i

GOODS Chandra Deep Field South (CDF - S) - Image of distant galaxies obtained by the Hubble space telescope in the constellation of the furnace. Several thousand galaxies, some of which are more than 10 billion light years old, are visible in this image. Some closer galaxies also appear, including two colliding galaxies (middle left). This image is a detail (1/10th) of the complete field observed by Hubble (which contains about 25,000 galaxies) in the framework of the GOODS programme, an extensive program of study of primordial galaxies in a field of the Boreal Constellation of the Great Bear and in a field of the southern hemisphere in the constellation of the furnace. This image, taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys, shows several thousand galaxies, many of which appear to be interacting or in the process of forming. Some of these galaxies existed when the cosmos was less than about 2 billion years old. The foreground galaxies, however, are much closer to Earth. Two of the

The cluster of galaxies in Fornax - The cluster of galaxies in Fornax - clusters of galaxies situated about 55 million years ago - light. In the center of the image is the barree spiral galaxy NGC 1365; at the bottom right of the image, the interaction galaxy NGC 1316 - 17 (Fornax A), which is one of the strongest known radiosource. Galaxies can be separated by their appearance into two broad groups, spirals and ellipticals. An example of a spiral galaxy, NGC 1365, is seen in center of this picture. In contrast, most of the galaxies in this cluster are ellipticals, which contain little or no gas or evidence of star formation; indeed they are composed millions of rather old, yellowish stars. Unlike many of the stars in spiral systems, those in ellipticals have orbits which are not confined to a narrow plane, so the galaxy can have a shape anywhere between a perfect sphere and an American football.

Located 60 million years ago - light, it belongs to the cluster of galaxies of the Furnace. Image obtained by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. NGC 1365, the largest spiral in the southern constellation of Fornax, is located at a distance of about 60 million light years. This beautiful galaxy is about as massive as the Milky Way, itself a substantial galaxy. Not much is known about how galaxies take on their beautiful forms, but a good deal is known about their internal organisation. The obvious 'bar' has the nucleus of the galaxy at its hub and is surrounded by masses of cooler stars that appear yellow on colour photographs. The bar itself is also yellowish, and has distinct dust lanes but it terminates abruptly in slender, curved arms that are lit by blue stars and the pink star - forming regions from which they spring

Eridanus (the Celestial River) is very well named; since it winds its way over an enormous area of the sky. It is the 6th largest constellation (almost 1140 square degrees) and wanders over a huge range of Declination. The river runs from close to the celestial equator (which runs through Orion's Belt) to its brightest star Achernar (a Eri; from the English for 'river's end'); which is at 57* south declination

Southern constellations around the Clock - Southern constellations around Horologium - Southern constellations around the Clock. The two bright stars are Canopus (bottom) and Achernar. This wide angle image includes Horologium, Phoenix and Pictor, insignificant constellations roughly centred on an arc of delination 50* south, but at a scale too small to show the star identifications and stick figures. Horologium, the Pendulum Clock (originally l'Horloge and then Horologium Oscillitorium), was a constellation introduced by Abbe Nicolas Louis de Lacaille during his stay at the Cape of Good Hope between 1751 and 1752. It was named to honor Christian Huygens as the inventor of this type of clock, but the idea for such a method of regulating time came from Galileo. Lacaille's constellation drawing shows a remarkably detailed dial, weights and a pendulum that has little apparent connection with the scattering of faint stars in this part of the sky. There are no named stars and little else in

Barree spiral galaxy NGC 1345 in Eridan - Barred Spiral galaxy NGC 1345 in Eridanus - Located about 85 million years ago - light from Earth, NGC 1345 is a barree spiral galaxy located in the constellation Eridan. This galaxy belongs to the Eridan galaxy cluster, a group of 70 galaxies. Many galaxies are visible in the background. The spiral galaxy NGC 1345 and its loose and ragged arms dominate this rich image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. It is a member of the Eridanus Galaxy Cluster - - a group of about 70 galaxies that lies 85 million light - years away in the constellation of Eridanus (the River). This region of the night sky is well populated with bright galaxies, with the Fornax Cluster of galaxies also nearby on the celestial sphere, although the two clusters are actually separated by about 20 million light - years. Collectively, they are known as the Fornax Supercluster or the Southern Supercluster. Apart from the main galaxy that dominates the picture, lots more di
