Constellation of the Berenice Hair - Constellation of Coma Berenices - The constellation of the Berenice Hair contains a cluster of stars, Melotte 111. Coma Berenice's (Berenices Hair) would be as insignificant as many of Lacaille's southern sky inventions if it were not for the subtle but distinctive Coma Star Cluster (Melotte 111), 270 light years away. The constellation's name alludes to the flowing hair of Queen Berenices of Egypt, allegedly cut off in gratitude for the safe return of her husband from some military escapade. This constellation was once considered to be part of Leo, where the hairy smudge of the open cluster was regarded as the tuft of the lion's tail. Melotte 111 is a large, open cluster of stars ranging between 5th magnitude (barely visible) to 10th magnitude, 100 times fainter. It extends over 5 degrees and despite the faintness of its constituent stars is clearly visible as a hazy patch in an otherwise undistinguished part of the sky. Coma is the direction of th

Spiral galaxy NGC 4651 in Berenice's Hair - Spiral galaxy NGC 4651 in Coma Berenices: The galaxy NGC 4651 (Arp 189) is located about 50 million light years away from Earth - The Umbrella Galaxy (NGC 4651 or Arp 189) exhibits a jet like spear that's strikingly coherent and narrow. The structure was previously reported by Boris Vorontsov Velyaminov in 1959 but never interpreted as a stellar tidal stream. This deep image additionally shows a spectacular crescent shaped shell surrounding the east side of the star system that corresponds to the apocenter of the dwarf galaxy. This galaxy is located at about 50 million light years away.

Colliding galaxies NGC 4676 in Berenice's Hair - Colliding galaxies NGC 4676 - The galaxy NGC 4676 is located about 300 million years away - light from Earth. It is a system of two spiral galaxies that collide and eventually become one galaxy. This image was obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in April 2002. Located 300 million light - years away in the constellation Coma Berenices, the colliding galaxies have been nicknamed “” The Mice”” because of the long tails of stars and gas emanating from each galaxy. Otherwise known as NGC 4676, the pair will eventually merge into a single giant galaxy. Image obtained by the Hubble space telescope in April 2002

Barree spiral galaxy NGC 4394 in Berenice's Hair - Barred spiral galaxy NGC 4394 in Coma Berenices: NGC 4394 is a barree spiral galaxy located in the Virgin's cluster about 55 million light years from Earth. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) - Discovered in 1784 by the German-British astronomer William Herschel, NGC 4394 is a barred spiral galaxy situated about 55 million light-years from Earth. The galaxy lies in the constellation of Coma Berenices (Berenice's Hair), and is considered to be a member of the Virgo Cluster. NGC 4394 is the archetypal barred spiral galaxy, with bright spiral arms emerging from the ends of a bar that cuts through the galaxy's central bulge. These arms are peppered with young blue stars, dark filaments of cosmic dust, and bright, fuzzy regions of active star formation.

Barree spiral galaxy NGC 4394 in Berenice's Hair - Barred spiral galaxy NGC 4394 in Coma Berenices: NGC 4394 is a barree spiral galaxy located in the Virgin's cluster about 55 million light years from Earth. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) - Discovered in 1784 by the German-British astronomer William Herschel, NGC 4394 is a barred spiral galaxy situated about 55 million light-years from Earth. The galaxy lies in the constellation of Coma Berenices (Berenice's Hair), and is considered to be a member of the Virgo Cluster. NGC 4394 is the archetypal barred spiral galaxy, with bright spiral arms emerging from the ends of a bar that cuts through the galaxy's central bulge. These arms are peppered with young blue stars, dark filaments of cosmic dust, and bright, fuzzy regions of active star formation. At the centre of NGC 4394 lies a region of ionised gas known as a LINER. Liners are active regions that display a characteristic set of emission lines in their spectra- mostl

Colliding galaxies NGC 4676 in Berenice's Hair - Colliding galaxies NGC 4676 - The galaxy NGC 4676 is located about 300 million years away - light from Earth. It is a system of two spiral galaxies that collide and eventually become one galaxy. Image obtained on May 31, 2008 with a telescope 61 cm in diameter. Located 300 million light - years away in the constellation Coma Berenices, the colliding galaxies have been nicknamed “” The Mice”” because of the long tails of stars and gas emanating from each galaxy. Otherwise known as NGC 4676, the pair will eventually merge into a single giant galaxy. Image taken on May 31 2008 with a 24 - inch telescope

Spiral galaxy M100 in Berenice's Hair - Spiral galaxy M100 in Coma Berenices - The spiral galaxy M100 (NGC 4321) is located about 60 million years ago - light from Earth. It belongs to the Virgin's galaxy cluster. Several dwarf elliptic galaxies are visible in this image, one just above M100 probably interacting. This face - on spiral M100, is one of the finest spirals in the Virgo galaxy cluster. As might be expected in a galaxy - rich environment, the lack of perfect symmetry in its brightest spiral arms suggests that M100 has been disturbed by gravitational interaction with its neighbours. At the top of the image is a less spectacular galaxy, a so - called 'nucleated dwarf' elliptical galaxy, probably interacting with M100

Lenticular galaxy NGC 4710 in Berenice's Hair - Lenticular galaxy NGC 4710 in Coma Berenices - The galaxy NGC 4710 is located about 60 million years ago - light from Earth, in the galaxy cluster of Our Lady. It's a lenticular galaxy seen from the slice. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. Edge - on galaxy located at about 60 million light years away. NGC 4710 is a member of the giant Virgo Cluster of galaxies and lies in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices (the Hair of Queen Berenice). It is not one of the brightest members of the cluster, but can easily be seen as a dim elongated smudge on a dark night with a medium - sized amateur telescope. In the 1780s, William Herschel discovered the galaxy and noted it simply as a “” faint nebula””. It is an example of a lenticular or S0 - type galaxy - a type that seems to have some characteristics of both spiral and elliptical galaxies. Image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope

It belongs to the Virgin's galaxy cluster. Several dwarf elliptic galaxies are visible in this image, one just above M100 probably interacting. This image was obtained by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. In this deep image fainter galaxies appear. One seems to be involved with the faint outskirts of the large spiral. The somewhat distorted shape of the dwarf galaxy suggests it could be both influencing and being influenced by M100, and may be the cause of the asymmetry in the spiral arms. Nearby is an even fainter, elongated dwarf galaxy and elsewhere in the picture are several others, all probably members of the Virgo cluster, which spills over into the adjoining constellation of Coma Berenices

Spiral galaxy NGC 4651 in Berenice's Hair - Spiral galaxy NGC 4651 in Coma Berenices - The galaxy NGC 4651 (Arp 189) is located about 50 million years away - light from Earth. The Umbrella Galaxy (NGC 4651 or Arp 189) exhibits a jet like spear that's strikingly coherent and narrow. The structure was previously reported by Boris Vorontsov Velyaminov in 1959 but never interpreted as a stellar tidal stream. This deep image additionally shows a spectacular crescent shaped shell surrounding the east side of the star system that corresponds to the apocenter of the dwarf galaxy. Interestingly, a possible second arc on the western side of the galaxy can also be seen in this image. This feature is less obvious because it's partially hidden by the galaxy's disk and suggests we are observing a moderately inclined structure projected into the halo of NGC 4651. This image was produced by combining an hour of exposure through the Isaac Newton Telescope, located on the Spanish island of La Palma, wit

Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). In this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image, NGC 4874 is the brightest object, located to the right of the frame and seen as a bright star - like core surrounded by a hazy halo. A few of the other galaxies of the cluster are also visible, looking like flying saucers dancing around NGC 4874. But the really remarkable feature of this image is the point - like objects around NGC 4874, revealed on a closer look: almost all of them are clusters of stars that belong to the galaxy. Each of these globular star clusters contains many hundreds of thousands of stars. Recently, astronomers discovered that a few of these point - like objects are not star clusters but ultra -
