It lies about 145,000,000 light years away in the constellation Centaurus. Astronomers have not yet “seen” the black hole at the centre of NGC 4696, a galaxy in the constellation Centaurus. The image shows a region about 45,000 light years across. It is speculated that this black hole emits energy that heats up the surrounding … Read more
NGC 6751, also known as the Glowing Eye Nebula or the Dandelion Puffball Nebula, is a planetary nebula in the constellation Aquila. The nebula was formed several thousand years ago when the ageing central star ran out of nuclear fuel. ngc 6751 was discovered by astronomer Albert Marth on 20. NGC 6751 was discovered by … Read more
Messier 77 was discovered in 1780 by Pierre Méchain, who originally described it as a nebula. Messier 77 was discovered in 1780 by Pierre Méchain, who originally described it as a nebula. Such models, when viewed as close to the edge as the orientation in ngc 1068 requires, cannot reproduce an annular structure. Such models, … Read more

In NGC 2174, the rate at which the nebula dissipates is further accelerated by the presence of hot young stars, which create high-speed winds that blow the gas outwards. The image demonstrates Hubble’s powerful infrared vision and gives a tantalising hint of what scientists can expect from the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope. The image … Read more

In 1864, Herschel’s son, John Frederick William Herschel, published the General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars. During its active period, astronomers would have classified NGC 4889 as a quasar, and the disk around the supermassive black hole would have emitted up to a thousand times the energy output of the Milky Way. During … Read more
It has an equatorial dust lane dotted with numerous red emission nebulae. It has a high surface brightness and is therefore a good target for small telescopes. ngc 4631 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici.

NGC 6888, also known as the Crescent Nebula, is a faint emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. Although it glows with a magnitude of 7.4, its extremely low surface brightness requires a very transparent night or large optics combined with a nebula filter to detect it. Some astronomers believe that the gas in a nebula … Read more
Unlike most spiral galaxies of the Virgo Cluster, NGC 4651 is rich in neutral hydrogen that also extends beyond the optical disk, and its star formation is typical of a galaxy of its type.

OK, let’s move on to the blinking planet. It is commonly called a blinking planet, although many other nebulae exhibit such blinking. Future generations will certainly give this star a different name. You can tell if you have actually found the nebula by increasing the magnification to zoom in on the disk. At a magnification … Read more
