NGC 1353 is a flocculent spiral galaxy situated in the constellation of Eridanus.Located about 70 million light years away, it is a member of the Eridanus cluster of galaxies, a cluster of about 200 galaxies.
NGC 891 looks as the Milky Way would look like when viewed edge-on (some astronomers have even noted how similar to NGC 891 our galaxy looks as seen from the Southern Hemisphere [9]) and, in fact, both galaxies are considered very similar in terms of luminosity and size; [10] studies of the dynamics of its molecular hydrogen have also proven the likely presence of a central bar.

A Hubble Space Telescope image of the center of NGC 1808 (Credit: HST/NASA/ESA) The core region contains a suspected weak active galactic nucleus plus a circumnuclear ring containing star clusters and supernova remnants at a distance of ~280 pc from the center. These form a ring of peculiar "hot spots". [11]
Composite image showing how the M87 system looked, across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, during the Event Horizon Telescope's April 2017 campaign to take the first image of a black hole. Requiring 19 different facilities on the Earth and in space, this image reveals the enormous scales spanned by the black hole and its forward-pointing jet.
VLT Survey Telescope image shows the Cat's Paw Nebula and the Lobster Nebula. [ 9 ] This portrait of NGC 6334 was created from images taken with the Wide Field Imager instrument at the 2.2-metre MPG/ESO telescope at the La Silla Observatory in Chile .
NGC 6822 was discovered by E. E. Barnard in 1884 using a six-inch refractor telescope.. Edwin Hubble, in the paper N.G.C. 6822, A Remote Stellar System, [7] identified 15 variable stars (11 of which were Cepheids) of this galaxy.
It can be seen in this Hubble Space Telescope image as the bright isolated star in the dark void on the left of the nebula. [ 3 ] According to notes by H. G. Corwin Jr. (2004), the cataloged object NGC 2363 refers to the galaxy UGC 3847, while the original object observed by Herschel is the H II region Mrk 71.
NGC 4414, also known as the Dusty Spiral Galaxy, [3] is an unbarred spiral galaxy about 62 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices.It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 13 March 1785.
