Spiral galaxy M101 in the Great Bear - Spiral galaxy M101 in Ursa Major - The galaxy M101 (NGC 5457) is located about 27 million years away from Earth. It spans more than 170,000 light years, almost double the size of our galaxy. We think that of the trillion stars in it, 100 billion stars could be similar to our Sun. Composite image obtained from 51 different clicks made by the Hubble space telescope from March 1994 to January 2003 and from ground photos at Kitt Peak and CFHT in Hawaii. Spiral galaxy M101 is a beautiful, large, face - on spiral galaxy located about 27 million light - years away in the constellation Ursa Major. This galaxy's portrait is actually composed of 51 individual Hubble exposures, in addition to elements from images from ground - based photos. The giant spiral disk of stars, dust, and gas is 170,000 light - years across or almost twice the diameter of our galaxy, the Milky Way. M101 is estimated to contain at least one trillion stars. Approximately 100 billion

Spiral galaxy NGC 6814 in the Eagle - Spiral Galaxy NGC 6814: NGC 6814 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Eagle. It is an active galaxy called Seyfert, which probably houses a black hole in its heart. Image obtained with the Hubble telescope - Spiral galaxy NGC 6814 seen by Hubble Space Telescope. NGC 6814 has an extremely bright nucleus, a telltale sign that the galaxy is a Seyfert galaxy. These galaxies have very active centres that can emit strong bursts of radiation. The luminous heart of NGC 6814 is a highly variable source of X-ray radiation, causing scientists to suspect that it hosts a supermassive black hole with a mass about 18 million times that of the Sun. As NGC 6814 is a very active galaxy, many regions of ionised gas are studded along its spiral arms. In these large clouds of gas, a burst of star formation has recently taken place, forging the brilliant blue stars that are visible scattered throughout the galaxy

Supernova type 1a 1994D in galaxy NGC 4526 - Supernova 1994D in galaxy NGC 4526 - Supernova 1994D, visible as the bright spot on the lower left, occurred in the outskirts of disk galaxy NGC4526. Supernova 1994D was not of interest for how different it was, but rather for how similar it was to other supernovae. In fact, the light emitted during the weeksafter its explosion caused it to be given the familiar designation of a Type Ia supernova. If all Type 1a supernovae have the same intrinsic brightness, then the dimmer a supernova appears, the farther away it must be. By calibrating a precise brightness - distance relation, astronomers are able to estimate not only the expansion rate of the universe (parameterized by the Hubble Constant), but also the geometry of the universe we live in (parameterized by Omega and Lambda). The large number and great distances to supernovae measured in 1998 have been interpreted as indicating that we live in a previously unexpected universe

Supernova in Galaxy M82 in Ursa Major - SN 2014J is a supernova of type Ia discovered on January 21, 2014 in the M82 galaxy. The supernova appears to the right of the center of the image. M82 is an irregular galaxy distant about 12 million years - light from Earth. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on January 31, 2014. SN 2014J is a type Ia supernova discovered on January 21 2014 in M82. M82 is a prototypical irregular type galaxy located 12 million light years away in Ursa Major constellation.

Asteroides Ceres and Vesta seen by the Hubble space telescope - Asteroids Ceres and Vesta seen by the Hubble space telescope - Ceres and Vesta are the two largest bodies of the asteroid belt, a region located between Mars and Jupiter. Since August 2006, Ceres is considered a dwarf planet. Ceres (left) has a diameter of about 950 km. Image obtained in January 2004. The image on the right, obtained on 14 and 16 May 2007, shows the asteroid Vesta. Its diameter is about 530 km. These Hubble Space Telescope images of Vesta and Ceres show two of the most massive asteroids in the asteroid belt, a region between Mars and Jupiter. At least 100,000 asteroids inhabit the asteroid belt, a reservoir of leftover material from the formation of our solar-system planets 4.6 billion years ago. The International Astronomical Union named Ceres one of three dwarf planets in 2006. Ceres is round like planets in our solar system, but it does not clear debris out of its orbit as our planets do.

Kepler - 186f, the first Earth - size Planet in the Habitable Zone - Kepler - 186f is the first Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone of its star to be discovered. It orbits Kepler - 186, a red dwarf located in the constellation of Swan, between 490 and 500 years of light from the Earth. The artist's concept depicts Kepler - 186f, the first validated Earth - size planet to orbit a distant star in the habitable zone - - a range of distance from a star where liquid water might pool on the planet's surface. The discovery of Kepler - 186f confirms that Earth - size planets exist in the habitable zones of other stars and signals a significant step closer to finding a world similar to Earth. The size of Kepler - 186f is known to be less than ten percent larger than Earth, but its mass, composition and density are not known. Previous research suggests that a planet the size of Kepler - 186f is likely to be rocky. Prior to this discovery, the “” record holder”” for the most “” Earth - like”

Goclenius, the crater in the foreground with a rille - broken flat floor, is about 70 kilometers (45 statute miles) in diameter. One rille, approximately horizontal in this view, crosses both crater rims and the central peak, and, on adjoining Apollo 8 photographs, can be traced several kilometers across the mare surface beyond the high crater wall. In the background, the two large craters with smooth floors are Colombo A (left) and Magelhaens.

Previously, methane and water vapour had already been detected in his atmosphere. But with a surface temperature of over 900 degrees, this planet remains too hot to shelter life. This is an artist's impression of the Jupiter - size extrasolar planet, HD 189733b, being eclipsed by its parent star.
