Zooming In on the Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Gigapixels of Andromeda, is a 2015 composite photograph of the Andromeda Galaxy produced by the Hubble Space Telescope. It is 1.5 billion pixels in size, and is the largest image ever taken by the telescope. [1] At the time of its release to the public, the image was one of the largest ever ...
NGC 4414 is a flocculent spiral galaxy, with short segments of spiral structure but without the dramatic well-defined spiral arms of a grand design spiral. The galaxy was imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995, as part of the HST's main mission to determine the distance to galaxies, and again in 1999 as part of the Hubble Heritage project .

Messier 94 (also known as NGC 4736, Cat's Eye Galaxy, Crocodile Eye Galaxy, or Croc's Eye Galaxy [7] [8]) is a spiral galaxy in the mid-northern constellation Canes Venatici. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781, [ 9 ] and catalogued by Charles Messier two days later.
The image shows the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago, [4] covering an area of sky with an angular size approximately equal to a grain of sand held at arm's length. [3] Many of the objects in the image have undergone notable redshift due to the expansion of space over the extreme distance traveled by the light ...
NGC 891 (also known as Caldwell 23, the Silver Sliver Galaxy, and the Outer Limits Galaxy) is an edge-on unbarred spiral galaxy about 30 million light-years away in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered by William Herschel on October 6, 1784. [3] The galaxy is a member of the NGC 1023 group of galaxies in the Local Supercluster.

Messier 77 (M77), also known as NGC 1068 or the Squid Galaxy, is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It is about 47 million light-years (14 Mpc ) away from Earth, and was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1780, who originally described it as a nebula.
