What is Universe?

The Universe is all of space and time

and their contents, including
planets, stars, galaxies, and all
other forms of matter and energy. A
galaxy is any of the systems of stars
and interstellar matter that make up
the universe.
What is Galaxy?
A galaxy is a gravitationally bound
system of stars, stellar remnants,
interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter.
The word galaxy is derived from the
Greek galaxias, literally "milky", a
reference to the Milky Way.
 Andromeda
It is a spiral galaxy
approximately 2.5 million
light-years from Earth and
the nearest major galaxy
to the Milky Way. Its name
stems from the area of the
sky in which it appears
the constellation of
Andromeda.
Constellation: Andromeda
 Black Eye Galaxy
It is a galaxy which was
discovered by Edward Pigott in
March 1779 and independently
by Johann Elert Bode in April of
the same year, as well as by
Charles Messier in 1780. It has a
spectacular dark band of
absorbing dust in front of the
galaxy's bright nucleus, giving
rise to its nicknames of the
"Black Eye" or "Evil Eye" galaxy.
Constellation: Coma Berenices
 Bode's Galaxy
It is a spiral galaxy about 12
million light-years away, in
the constellation Ursa Major.
It was discovered by Johann
Elert Bode on December 31,
1774.

Constellation: Ursa Major

 Cartwheel Galaxy
It is a lenticular galaxy and
ring galaxy about 500 million
light-years away in the
constellation Sculptor. It
looks like cartwheel that's
why astronomer called it
'Cartwheel'.

Constellation: Sculptor
 Cigar Galaxy
It is a starburst galaxy
approximately 12 million
light-years away in the
constellation Ursa Major.

Constellation: Ursa Major

 Comet Galaxy
It is a spiral galaxy
located 3.2 billion light-
years from Earth, in the
galaxy clusters Abell
2667, was found with the
Hubble Space Telescope.

Constellation: Sculptor
 Cosmos Redshift 7
It is a high-redshift
Lyman-alpha emitter
galaxy.

Constellation: Sextans
 Hoag's Object
It is a non-typical galaxy of
the type known as a ring
galaxy. It is named after
Arthur Hoag who discovered
it in 1950 and identified it as
either a planetary nebula or a
peculiar galaxy with eight
billion stars.
Large Magellanic Cloud

It is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.

Constellation: Dorado/Mensa
 Small Magellanic Cloud
It is a dwarf galaxy near
the Milky Way. It is among
the nearest intergalactic
neighbours of the Milky
Way and is one of the
most distant objects
visible to the naked eye.
Constellation: Tucana
It is the galaxy that contains
Milky Way
our Solar System. It
appears as a band because
its disk-shaped structure is
viewed from within. Galileo
Galilei first resolved the
band of light into individual
stars with his telescope in
1610.
Constellation: Sagittarius
(centre)
 Mayall's Object
It is the result of two colliding
galaxies located 500 million
light years away within the
constellation of Ursa Major. It
was discovered by American
astronomer Nicholas U.
Mayall of the Lick
Observatory on 13 March
1940, using the Crossley
reflector.
Constellation: Ursa Major
 Pinwheel Galaxy
It is a face-on spiral galaxy
distanced 21 million light-
years away from the Earth
and located in the
constellation Ursa Major.

Constellation: Ursa Major

 Sombrero Galaxy

It is a spiral galaxy located

in the constellation Virgo.

Constellation: Virgo
 Sunflower Galaxy
It is a spiral galaxy in the
northern constellation of
Canes Venatici. It was first
discovered by the French
astronomer Pierre
Méchain then later verified by
his colleague Charles Messier
on June 14, 1779.
Constellation: Canes Venatici
 Tadpole Galaxy
It is a disrupted barred spiral
galaxy located 420 million
light-years from Earth in the
northern constellation Draco.

Constellation: Draco
 Whirlpool Galaxy
It is an interacting grand-
design spiral galaxy with a
Seyfert 2 active galactic
nucleus located in the
constellation Canes
Venatici, and was the first
galaxy to be classified as a
spiral galaxy.
Constellation: Canes
Venatici
