Comete Hale - Bopp - Comet Hale - Bopp C/1995 - Comete Hale - Bopp seen on April 2, 1997, one day after his passage to the perihelie. The Hyades cluster is visible at the top left, then to the right, the Pleiades, Persee, Andromede and Cassiopee. Mercury lies on the mountains at the bottom left of the picture. Comet Hale - Bopp is seen here on April 2, 1997, one day after Perihelion. This is a wide angle shot with the Hyades on the far upper left, then the Pleaides, Perseus, Andromeda and Cassiopeia. Mercury is setting just over the mountains at lower left. Cassel Observatory, New Buffalo, PA, US

Star Sky on Yellowstone - Amazing sky in Yellowstone National Park - View of the star sky above the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. It's a view towards the constellation of Perseus. The Great Andromeda Galaxy is also visible as a smudge close to the top of the frame. The open cluster of the Pleiades is just above the horizon with the red California nebula close by. On the upper left of the photo you can see two red patches: the Heart and Soul nebulae. The bright star just above the horizon is Capella, the brightest star in the constellation of Auriga, the Charioteer. Green airglow is visible on an extended area of the sky

Aurora boreale and Lactee Way - Norway - Aurora borealis and Milky Way - Norway - Aurora boreale above Skagsanden Beach, Lofoten. April 1, 2016. The Northern Lights are not out of the ordinary in this image but the Milky Way is. At least for the latitude of Lofoten inside the Arctic Circle. In the center of the image, just above the Auroral band, the white blob is the Great Andromeda Galaxy. To the left, again close to the Aurora, we have the Pleiades, the most famous open cluster in the sky, known as the Seven Sisters. Above the mountain, the faint pinkish patch is the North America nebula. The horizon is still bathed in sunset colors even though it was midnight

Planetary nebula NGC 7662 in Andromede - Planetary nebula NGC 7662 in Andromeda - A planetary nebula is a gas shell from a small late-life star whose heart collapsed to become a white dwarf and expelled the outer layers of its material. Image obtained with a 50 cm telescope, 3 times 30 minutes of installation. Like The Eskimo Nebula, NGC 7662 is a challenging target with extremely small details. Its inner region is dominated by a relatively smooth torus with only hints of filamentary structures in the very center. While the data is comprised of only 30 minutes in each color, it is possible to detect the outer halo of this planetary nebula

This image was obtained by the 2,2m MPG telescope in La Silla in 1999. NGC 4945 is a barred spiral galaxy in the Centaurus Group of galaxies, located only six times farther away than the prominent Andromeda Galaxy. The thin disk galaxy is oriented nearly edge - on, and shrouded in dark dust. NGC 4945 is thought to be quite similar to our own Milky Way Galaxy. X - ray observations reveal, however, that NGC 4945 has an unusual, energetic, Seyfert 2 nucleus that might house a large black hole. Image obtained by the 2.2m MPG telescope at La Silla observatory

It is distinguished by having two unusual stars that are easily seen. Delta Cephei is the prototype for an intrinsically bright class of regularly pulsating variable stars whose period of variability is closely related to their absolute magnitudes. The brightest stars have the longest period, so distance can be estimated by measuring the period and the apparent magnitude of a star.

Pegase Constellation - Constellation of Pegasus - Pegasus represents a winged horse of Greek mythology, a figure that appears quite often, most spectacularly as the great winged steed of Bellerophon. The word Pegasus itself is derived from the Greek meaning 'strong'.

Because Pegasus was considered a mortal, when he died he was placed in the heavens as a constellation by Zeus. Adjoining Pegasus is Equuleus, the foal.

These galaxies are not interacting but just perfectly aligned in front of each other from Earth. Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope shows a rare view of a pair of overlapping galaxies, called NGC 3314. The two galaxies look as if they are colliding, but they are actually separated by tens of millions of light - years, or about ten times the distance between our Milky Way and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy. The chance alignment of the two galaxies, as seen from Earth, gives a unique look at the silhouetted spiral arms in the closer face - on spiral, NGC 3314A.

Spiral galaxies NGC 3314 A and B in Hydra - Galaxy pair NGC 3314 in Hydra - NGC 3314 is a pair of spiral galaxies distant about 140 million years - Earth light. These galaxies are not interacting but just perfectly aligned in front of each other from Earth. Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope shows a rare view of a pair of overlapping galaxies, called NGC 3314. The two galaxies look as if they are colliding, but they are actually separated by tens of millions of light - years, or about ten times the distance between our Milky Way and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy. The chance alignment of the two galaxies, as seen from Earth, gives a unique look at the silhouetted spiral arms in the closer face - on spiral, NGC 3314A. The motion of the two galaxies indicates that they are both relatively undisturbed and that they are moving in markedly different directions.

This bright section of the Milky Way is strewn with thousands of individual stars, star clouds, dark nebulae, red emission nebulae, and glittering star clusters. As we look at Cassiopeia, we are looking out into one of the outer arms of our own Milky Way galaxy, and away from the galaxy's center in Sagittarius. The Double Cluster in Perseus (NGC 884 and NGC 869) and the Double Nebulae (IC 1805 and LBN 667) are at upper right. NGC 281, another emission nebula, is near Schedar (Alpha Cassiopeiae). IC 59 and IC 63 are two small faint nebulae near Gamma Cassiopeia, in the center of the constellation.

Spiral galaxy M33 in the Triangle - Spiral galaxy M33 in Triangulum - M33, (NGC 598), the galaxy of the Triangle, is located about 2 million years ago - light from Earth. It belongs to the local group, just like our galaxy or Andromede galaxy. This image is a composite of two black and white images obtained from the 1.2m telescope of Mount Palomar, California. Spiral galaxy M33 is a mid - sized member of our Local Group of Galaxies. M33 is also called the Triangulum Galaxy for the constellation in which it resides. About four times smaller (in radius) than our Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), it is much larger than the many of the local dwarf spheroidal galaxies. M33's proximity to M31 causes it to be thought by some to be a satellite galaxy of this more massive galaxy. M33's proximity to our Milky Way Galaxy causes it to appear more than twice the angular size of the Full Moon, and be visible with a good pair of binoculars. <BR>This image is a composite from black and

Located in Sagittarius, at a distance of 5800 years - light, it is visible to the naked eye in good conditions. It is a star-forming region illuminated by several large O-type stars that belong to the open cluster NGC 6530 visible on the left of the image. The brightest part of the nebula is called the hourglass nebula whose gases are excited mainly by two massive supergeant stars Herschel 36 and 9 Sagittarii. At the heart of the Lagoon Nebula in Sagittarius lies the diminutive Hourglass Nebula. This extremely bright object is associated with the blue star alongside it, named Herschel 36 after its discoverer. Herschel described M8 as 'A noble nebula' and 'a fine and complicated nebula', but he was clearly intrigued by the Hourglass which he compared to the nucleus of the Andromeda nebula, M31 as 'decidedly not stellar'.

It is not certain that this interaction will end in a collision and ultimately a merging of the two galaxies, although the galaxies have already been affected.
