Irregular Galaxy of the Little Magellan Cloud (NGC 292) - The Small Magellanic Cloud - The galaxy of the Little Magellan Cloud is about 240,000 light years from Earth in the southern constellation of Toucan. It's one of the closest galaxies of the Lactee Way. Two globular clusters are visible on this image, on the right the Toucan cluster, on the left, the NGC 362 cluster. The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is the second nearest galaxy to the Milky Way, (the LMC being the nearest) and is at the distance of about 240,000 light years. The shape of the SMC defies description and it is therefore classified as an 'irregular' galaxy. The large globular cluster at right is 47 Tucanae, while a smaller one at left is NGC 362. It is about 30,000 light years distant, twice as far away as 47 Tuc

The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is the second nearest galaxy to the Milky Way, (the LMC being the nearest) and is at the distance of about 240,000 light years, quite close enough for it to be resolved into individual stars on this colour picture made from plates taken on the UK Schmidt Telescope. The shape of the SMC defies description and it is therefore classified as an 'irregular' galaxy.

Located about 15000 years ago - light it contains several million stars, some of which are among the older stars known today. At the top right of the image, part of the galaxy of the Little Magellan Cloud; under NGC 104, a small globular cluster, NGC 121. Discovered by Abbe Nicholas Louis de Lacaille on September 14, 1751. NGC 104, better known as 47 Tucanae, is the second largest and second brightest globular cluster in the skies, outshone only by another southern globular, Omega Centauri (NGC 5139). As its name “” 47 Tucanae”” indicates, this object was first cataloged as a star and numbered the 47th in Tucana. Although a conspicuous naked - eye object, it is situated so much south at its declination of - 72 deg, that it was not discovered as a deepsky object before 1751, when Abbe Lacaille cataloged it in his li

Globular cluster 47 Toucan - Globular cluster 47 Tucanae - The globular cluster 47 Toucan (or NGC 104) is visible to the naked eye from the southern hemisphere. Located about 16000 years ago - light it contains several million stars, some of which are among the older stars known today. This image was obtained by the Kueyen telescope of the VLT in Chile in 2001. It shows the central part of the cluster. 47 Tucanae is an impressive globular cluster that is visible with the unaided eye from the southern hemisphere. Located about 16,000 light years away, it has a total mass of about 1 million times the mass of the Sun and is 120 light years across, making it appear on the sky as big as the full moon. The colour image of 47 Tucanae shown here was taken with FORS1 on Eso's Very Large Telescope in 2001. The image covers only the densest, very central part of the cluster. The globular cluster extends in reality four times further away

Detail of the globular cluster 47 Toucan - Starfield in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, NGC 104 - The globular cluster 47 Toucan (or NGC 104) is visible to the naked eye from the southern hemisphere. Located about 15000 years ago - light it contains several million stars, some of which are among the older stars known today. This image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope shows a detail of this cluster near its center; about 35,000 stars are visible. This image shows the Hubble telescope's close - up look at a swarm of 35, 000 stars near the club's central region. The stars are tightly packed together: They are much closer together than our Sun and its closest stars. The picture, taken by the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2, depicts the stars' natural colors and tells scientists about their composition and age. For example, the red stars denote bright red giants nearing the end of their lives; the more common yellow stars are similar to our middle - aged Sun

Among the many spectacular objects in the southern skies are two magnificent naked - eye globular clusters, omega Centauri and 47 Tucanae. These ancient cities of stars are captives of the Milky Way but were formed long before our Galaxy assumed its present shape, indeed these clusters have some of the oldest known stars. 47 Tuc is about 15,000 light years distant and contains several million stars, as many as some minor galaxies. The crowded central region leads to occasional stellar encounters and it is in 47 Tuc that rapidly - spinning pulsars have been discovered by radio astronomers. Although the light of globular clust

Region around the open cluster M11 in the ECU of Sobieski - M11 region in Scutum - M11 (NGC 6705), below, is a particularly compact open cluster and rich in stars (about 3000), located in the constellation of the Ecu of Sobieski. Near him, many dark nebulae. NGC 6705 also known as Messier 11 or the Wild Duck Cluster is an open cluster in the constellation Scutum. It is one of the richest and most compact of the known open clusters, containing about 3000 stars. Top, dark nebulae are visible

Blue stragglers in cluster 47 Toucan - Blue stragglers in globular cluster 47 Tucanae - This image obtained by the Hubble space telescope shows a detail of the 47 Toucan cluster near its center (the field is indicated on the left image taken from the ground). The yellow circles on the right image indicate the position of stars identified by the telescope as blue trainers. Because of the high density of stars within a globular cluster, a collision between two stars sometimes occurs, merging into a single young, bright and warm star called a blue straggler. The core of globular cluster 47 Tucanae is home to many blue stragglers, rejuvenated stars that glow with the blue light of young stars. A ground - based telescope image (on the left) shows the entire crowded core of 47 Tucanae, located 15,000 light - years away in the constellation Tucana. Peering into the heart of the globular cluster's bright core, the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 separated the dense c

The Gamma ray sky - The Gamma ray sky - Map of the whole sky seen in gamma rays by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope (FGST) satellite from August 4 to October 30, 2008. The strongest sources of gamma radiation are legendeed here. All-sky image seen in gamma ray showing the glowing gas of the Milky Way, blinking pulsars, and galaxies billions of light-years away. The all-sky image released today shows us how the cosmos would look if our eyes could detect radiation 150 million times more energetic than visible light. The view merges Large Area Telescope (LAT) on Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (FGST) observations spanning 87 days, from August 4 to October 30, 2008. The top five sources within our galaxy are: The sun. Now near the minimum of its activity cycle, the sun would not be a particularly notable source except for one thing: It's the only one that moves across the sky. The sun's annual motion against the background sky is a reflection of Earth's orbit around the sun. LSI+61 303.
