IC 1011 is a barred spiral galaxy [1] with apparent magnitude of 14.7, [3] and with a redshift of z=0.02564 (SIMBAD) [1] or 0.025703 (NASA), [3] yielding a distance of 100 to 120 megaparsecs. [3] Its light has taken 349.5 million years to travel to Earth. IC 1011's calculated age is approximately 12.95 billion years. [3]
IC 1101 is considered a large galaxy characterized by an extensive, diffuse halo. This is the intracluster light, or ICL, free-flying stars that are not bound to any galaxy. This ubiquitous mass of stars within galaxy clusters are usually more concentrated around the brightest cluster galaxies, such as IC 1101, however. [31]
The most recent full supermoon occurred on November 15, 2024, and the next one will be on October 7, 2025. [13] The supermoon of November 14, 2016, was the closest full occurrence since January 26, 1948, and will not be surpassed until November 25, 2034. [15] The closest full supermoon of the 21st century will occur on December 6, 2052. [16]
The obscured dwarf galaxy PGC 39058 Hubble image of the elliptical galaxy PGC 6240. [1]The Principal Galaxies Catalogue (PGC) is an astronomical catalog published in 1989 that lists B1950 and J2000 equatorial coordinates and cross-identifications for 73,197 galaxies.
Moon lovers have a reason to celebrate this week. A full moon on Tuesday will coincide with a partial lunar eclipse, giving people in North America, South America, Africa and Europe a chance to ...
This is a list of the largest cosmic structures so far discovered. The unit of measurement used is the light-year (distance traveled by light in one Julian year; approximately 9.46 trillion kilometres). This list includes superclusters, galaxy filaments and large quasar groups (LQGs). The structures are listed based on their longest dimension.

The two galaxy cores are the two brightest regions in the object. The cores of each merging galaxy are separated and distinct, but the disks of the galaxies have started to merge. Intense star formation is occurring, as seen by the bright blue line of clusters along the grasshopper's "tail".
