Articles with the Messier number in the title use [[Category:Messier objects|###]], dropping the M prefix, and using only the number. The number should be padded up to 3 digits using zeroes. Articles without the Messier number in the title use [[Category:Messier objects]]. A redirect containing the Messier number should also be added to the ...
The Messier catalogue is one of the most famous lists of astronomical objects, and many objects on the list are still referenced by their Messier numbers. [1] The catalogue includes most of the astronomical deep-sky objects that can be easily observed from Earth's Northern Hemisphere; many Messier objects are popular targets for amateur ...
The Trifid Nebula (catalogued as Messier 20 or M20 and as NGC 6514) is an H II region in the north-west of Sagittarius in a star-forming region in the Milky Way's Scutum–Centaurus Arm. [3] It was discovered by Charles Messier on June 5, 1764. [4] Its name means 'three-lobe'.
Other mods add new quests and characters, or update the game's graphics and animations. [2] As the vanilla game has a reputation for outdated mechanics, it is common for players to mod Skyrim even prior to their first playthrough. [3] Traditionally, Skyrim mods have been largely free to download.

Messier 7 or M7, also designated NGC 6475 and sometimes known as the Ptolemy Cluster, [4] is an open cluster of stars in the constellation of Scorpius. The cluster is easily detectable with the naked eye, close to the "stinger" of Scorpius. With a declination of −34.8°, it is the southernmost Messier object.
Messier 47 (M47 or NGC 2422), also known as NGC 2478 [3] is an open cluster in the mildly southern constellation of Puppis. It was discovered by Giovanni Batista Hodierna before 1654 and in his then keynote work re-discovered by Charles Messier on 1771.
It was discovered on May 3, 1764, [10] and was the first Messier object to be discovered by Charles Messier himself. Messier originally mistook the object for a nebula without stars. This mistake was corrected after the stars were resolved by William Herschel around 1784. [11] Since then, it has become one of the best-studied globular clusters.
