Archive M101 Spiral Galaxy This is a 2006 Hubble image of M101 a spiral galaxy also know as NGC 5457. If you were wondering about the catalogue letters, M stands for Messier (mess-e-a) a french guy who set up one of the first catalogues. NGC stands for New Galactic Catalogue. More M101 wiki info.  Only available in 16:10. Full res. If you would like to find the original pictures of what I make then check out Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) and Hubble's archive websites. And this link to the forum. And of course, the Gallery. |

I was wondering what the AM designation was in this post. Found loads more info that I needed  Apparently it means... AM 2020–505 Peculiar galaxies (Arp, Madore) AM_HHMM±DDd Where... HH Hours of right ascension MM Minutes of right ascension DD.d Degrees in declination and the AM is Arp, Madore the guys who did the survey I guess. Do I need to explain right ascension/ declination? |

Rather than me waffle on about celestial spheres and such the wiki is prob the best idea. Too much info is better than not enough in my opinion. |
