Our community team of galaxies is between the smaller communities, and it has about 3 dozen prevalent galaxies. the three greatest in descending order are Andromeda, ours, and M33. Ours has 2 satellite tv for pc galaxies, the tremendous and Small Magellanic Clouds. Andromeda also has 2, M110 being one. The others in our team have names like Leo I and Leo II. considering billions of galaxies were stumbled on, no one is making an attempt to call all of them. some, like the Black Eye Galaxy and the Whirlpool Galaxy (a/ok/a M51) were given names, yet maximum have catalog numbers. The early catalog (after M for Messier) changed into NGC for brand spanking new time-honored Catalog, stated by making use of IC for Index Catalog. Galaxies are available distinct kinds. the three massive ones in our community team are all spirals. M.100 and ten is an elliptical, it truly is the commonest style. The Magellanics are both Irregulars. a approach no longer recent in our team is the Barred Spiral, and also the conventional Elliptical, which could have as many as one thousand billion stars. The Virgo Cluster of galaxies has a minimum of 4000 galaxies in it, and bigger clusters are prevalent.

Probably the oldest galaxy yet found, IOK-1, was discovered in September 2006 by Masanori Iye at National Astronomical Observatory of Japan using the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii. Its emission of Lyman alpha radiation has a redshift of 6.96, making it thirteen billion years old. While some scientists have claimed other objects (such as Abell 1835 IR1916) to be even older, the IOK-1's age and composition have been more reliably established

The yogurt, honey, pizza, galaxies; there is still some cosmic soup.

Andromeda, Sombrero- goodness sakes, just go to space.com and type in galaxies....much easier than reviewing all the anwers you are going to get here.
