rules:
last two digits of your post number are the number of the object you will have to research online/ in book and if you will, you could then share interesting info about it ITT
00 is M100
last row is for rolling trips
M101 - 111
M102 - 222 etc.
have fun
I do absolutely nothing productive 24/7 so fuck it.
Rolling.

This is dumb and autistic.

M13: Hercules Globular Cluster, discovered by Hayley in 1715, it's one of the most known clusters. It's visible with small telescopes and can be seen with the naked eye in very clear nights, if you know exactly what you're looking for.

>Messier 94 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici.
>M94 is one of the brightest galaxies within the M94 Group, a group of galaxies that contains between 16 and 24 galaxies
>the outer disk of this galaxy is active. It contains approximately 23% of the galaxy's total stellar mass and contributes about 10% of the galaxy's new stars.
>M94 has very little or no dark matter present.
These were the only interesting facts.

Messier 92 is one of the brightest globular clusters in the Milky Way, and is visible to the naked eye under good observing conditions.
Messier 92 has a very low abundance of elements other than hydrogen and helium
It is visible to the naked eye under very good conditions.[

What's a globular cluster anon?

pee pee pee pee poo ooo oo aaa a
The coolest looking galaxy is undoubtedly the crab nebula.
>>27585505
A new low.
Rolling
>>27585505
71 looks cozy
>>27586482
A very dense group of mostly old stars, bound together by gravity that orbits the center of a galaxy.

>>27586646
No, the coolest galaxy has to be Betelgeuse
>>27586736
Hmm, I have neighbors
>>27586771
You didn't have to make look bad anon, everything could've gone smoothly for me.
roll for best galaxy
>>27586851
You got a really good one, Anon. One of my favorites when I was a geeky kid obsessed with space.
>>27586821
Rigel is the coolest galaxy, this is a fact that cannot and will not be disputed.
Rolling
NCG 6357 is my favourite nebuIa
>implying the Comet Halley isn't the coolest galaxy
>>27585505
rolling for m45
your supposed to list interesting facts about your galaxy you faggots, no fucking point in just rolling and posting a picture.
rolling for a nice one
Messier 74 (also known as NGC 628) is a face-on spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It is at a distance of about 32 million light-years away from Earth.[5] The galaxy contains two clearly defined spiral arms and is therefore used as an archetypal example of a grand design spiral galaxy.[6] The galaxy's low surface brightness makes it the most difficult Messier object for amateur astronomers to observe.[7][8] However, the relatively large angular size of the galaxy and the galaxy's face-on orientation make it an ideal object for professional astronomers who want to study spiral arm structure and spiral density waves. It is estimated that M74 is home to about 100 billion stars

>either has a huge black hole in the center or none at all (???)
>most stars are old except the ones in the center seem to be fairly young (which are sometimes arranged in a ring)
>known to interact with other galaxies or something
>site of the first identified luminous red nova (stars supernova-ing by colliding with each other, it looks like)
>pics don't show a whole lot of detail, just looks like a big bright blob
>merged with another galaxy some billions of years ago
>very little hydrogen
I like this one
>>27586646
more like crap nebula xDD
roll for cool galaxy
>>27587536
open star cluster
seems kinda boring
Rolling for comfy galaxy.
Rollin, Rollin, Rollin on a river.

I've never seen this one, it's beautiful
