The galactic duo, formally known as MCG+05-31-045, is located 390 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices, which means "Berenice's Hair" in Latin and refers to Queen Berenice II, a ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt more than 2,000 years ago. The larger elliptical galaxy is...
While you can take pictures of the moon using almost any camera, it is recommended that you use a camera with complete manual control that lets you control the moon’s brightness. An interchangeable lens camera like a DSLR or Mirrorless camera can provide this level of control. DSLR/Mirrorless...

Atypical for a dwarf elliptical galaxy, NGC 185 contains young clusters of stars and shows evidence of star formation that occurred in the cluster until recently. Caldwell 17or NGC 147 is another dwarf spheroidal galaxy in Cassiopeia. It is roughly 2.53 million light-years distant from the earth...
A body of this size on such an orbit would have been visible for some time now. This article should be in a "Mythology" or "Archeology" category, if not in "Pseudoscience." It should not be categorized in "Science and Engineering." ...
"There is no evidence of a bulge without a disk, around which the disk formed later." Team member Erica Nelson, of Yale University, added: "These galaxies show us the whole Milky Way grew at the same time, unlike more massive elliptical galaxies, in which the central bulge forms first....
An especially condensed area of the intergalactic medium is known as an intracluster medium, because it lies in the middle of galaxy clusters. The intracluster medium radiates x-rays which can be observed with a telescope. Because the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate, the whole thing...
The largest galaxies contain over 100 trillion stars, with record-breakingAlcyoneus spanning an unprecedented 16 million light-years. In a first-of-its-kind image, the scale of galaxies, including the Milky Way, Andromeda, the largest spiral (UGC 2885), the largest elliptical (IC 1101), and ...

Pluto is located in the Kuiper belt and has a different orbit when compared to the other planets in that it is both elliptical and tilted. The dwarf planet is made of ice and rock and is the largest trans-Neptunian object by volume and rotates similarly to Venus and Neptune (spinning east...
