It lies a short distance away from M102 (NGC 5866), a smaller galaxy that is also, coincidentally, oriented almost exactly edge-on. NGC 5907 is relatively large and bright, shining at magnitude 11 ...

Using NASA's Chandra spacecraft and ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, astronomers have investigated the galaxy NGC 7793, searching for supernova remnants (SNRs). As a result, they discovered four new X ...

NGC 6946 is a poster child for supernovae, which underscores its nickname. Bright supernovae in NGC 6946 have occurred in 1917, 1939, 1948, 1968, 1969, 1980, 2002, 2004, 2008, and 2017.

Astrophotographer Ronald Brecher captured a striking image of the Knife Edge Galaxy (NGC 5907) during May under a near-full moon from his backyard observatory near the city of Guelph in Canada.

One of these edge-on marvels is NGC 5907 in Draco. It is an SA (s)c galaxy, sometimes called the Splinter Galaxy or the Knife Edge Galaxy. It lies a short distance away from M102 (NGC 5866), a ...

This week, astronomers have unveiled the most intricate and vibrant image ever captured of the Sculptor Galaxy (NGC 253) in a stunning thousand-color spectrum. This unprecedented view, thanks to ...

Using data from the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, the team created an incredibly detailed image of the Sculptor Galaxy (NGC 253).

For the study, the researchers used the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) to image the Sculptor Galaxy (NGC 253), which is a spiral galaxy located just over 11 million ...

Astronomers have created a galactic masterpiece: an ultra-detailed image that reveals previously unseen features in the Sculptor galaxy. Using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large ...

A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles. Sculptor–officially labeled NGC 253–is considered a starburst galaxy, one heavy with stellar action.
