- Image Of Collison Between Two Milky- Way Like Galaxies
Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of collision between two Milky-Way like galaxies. These two galaxies are known as NGC 2623 or Arp 243 are in the stages of emerging . The tail of NGC 2623 is richly populated with bright star clusters. The...
- Images By Herschel's Camera Of Our Milky Way
Two Herschel's camera has taken images simultaneously of our Milky way which has never been seen before. The image reveals a cold and turbulent region where material is just beginning to condense into new stars. It is located in the plane of our...
- A Supermassive Black Hole In A Dwarf Galaxy
A supermassive black hole exists in the center of our galaxy, with an incredible mass on the order of 4 million times that of the Sun. Our galaxy is not alone; most large galaxies also possess very large black holes as well. This leads to some interesting...

Details of our Milky Way
Enjoy the breath taking portrait of our Milky Way in detail.
The image spans the region of sky from the constellation of Sagittarius to Scorpius. The very bright and colourful feature towards the right of the image are the Rho Ophiuchi and Antares regions. Darker areas such as the Pipe and Snake nebulae also stand out.
The dusty lane of our Milky Way runs obliquely through the image, punctuated with bright, reddish nebulae including the Lagoon and the Trifid nebulae. A supermassive black hole is at the centre of our galaxy.
